97 - JOHN HOPPNER (BRITISH 1759-1810)INFANT VANITYOil on panel58 x 66.5cm (22¾ x 26in.)Painted in 1789.Exhibited:Royal Academy, London, 1789 (no. 176)Literature:W. McKay and W. Roberts, John Hoppner, R.A., London, 1909, p.301, where listed erroneously as 'Infant Variety'H. P. K. Skipton, John Hoppner, London: Methuen & Co., 1905, p. XII, p. 168The Royal Academy, The Exhibition of the Royal Academy of Arts, M.DCC.LXXXIX, The Twenty First, London: T. Cadell, 1789, p. 7, no. 176Engraved:John Young, After John Hoppner, Infant Vanity (1789) (BM 2010,7081.3587)Thisengaging work entitled Infant Vanity was exhibited by John Hoppner atthe Royal Academy in 1789, the year he was appointed portrait painter to thePrince of Wales, later King George IV. The subject and free handling displayHoppner’s well documented debt to Sir Joshua Reynolds, particularly in thelatter’s ‘fancy pictures’ such as The Infant Academy (1781-2;London, Kenwood House, Iveagh Bequest) and A Child with Guardian Angels (1786;private collection), both of which were exhibited at the Academy, in 1782 and1786 respectively. That Hoppner chose to execute the present work on panel isarguably further evidence of Reynolds’ pervasive influence. In his Dictionaryof British 18th Century Painters (1981, p. 181), the ever incisive EllisWaterhouse noted that Hoppner’s most successful work was his group portraits ofchildren, including that of his own, now at Washington (1791; National Galleryof Art). According to Horace Pitt Kennedy Skipton’s 1905 text, the present painting was probably modelled on the Washington picture.
