Portrait of a Lady
DOWNMAN, John (1750-1824
John Downman’s delicate oval portraits made him one of the most popular portrait painters of the late eighteenth century. Born in Ruabon, near Wrexham, he moved to London and spent most of his working life in England, though he often painted Welsh sitters.
Gwnaeth portreadau hirgrwn a chain John Downman yr artist yn un o beintwyr portreadau mwyaf poblogaidd diwedd y ddeunawfed ganrif. Fe’i ganwyd yn Rhiwabon, ger Wrecsam, cyn symud i Lundain a threulio’r rhan fwyaf o’i fywyd cynhyrchiol yn Lloegr, er iddo beintio nifer o bortreadau o Gymry.)
