'Pinkie'

These two portraits are familiar to even the most casual art appreciator. We're used to seeing them displayed together, but they were painted by two different artists and were not originally intended to be shown as a pair.
'Pinkie' was the family nickname of Sarah Barrett Moulton. Her portrait was painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence in 1794, when she was about 11 years old. She was born in Jamaica to wealthy English plantation owners and died about a year after the portrait was completed. Her brother, Edward, later changed his surname to Moulton-Barrett, and fathered the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
'The Blue Boy', thought to be a portrait of Jonathan Buttall, the son of a wealthy English hardware merchant, was painted by Thomas Gainsborough around 1770, in clothing from an earlier period in tribute to artist Sir Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641). [Click on a photo for a closer look.]
In 1921, American railroad pioneer Henry Edwards Huntington purchased both paintings, to great British consternation, I might add. He displayed the two full length portraits side by side, and they have been shown that way ever since.

Pinkie And Blue Boy Paintings At The Huntington Library

The Huntington Art Museum, Library & Botanical Gardens is well worth visiting if you ever find yourself in the Pasadena, CA area. One of my fondest memories is having my son & his wife take me there when they lived in the area. If you have an opportunity to see 'Pinkie' and 'The Blue Boy', I hope you'll be able to appreciate them more now that you've heard a little bit about their background. You may visit the Huntington online here. Brew a cup of tea, put on a classical CD and enjoy perusing the collection online. And remember .. there's a story behind every painting!
