Property from the Estate of the late Alys Rickett
Sir Edwin Henry Landseer, R.A.
London 1802 - 1873
Jacko, a macaque monkey
Watercolour and bodycolour over traces of pencil;
signed with the artist's initials lower left
86 by 108 mm
According to a transcription of an old inscription, which survives on the reverse of the current frame, this watercolour dates to 1830 and was later given to Mrs Rice, a servant within the artist's household.
The macaque monkey known as Jacko was also drawn by John Frederick Lewis, R.A. who included an image of him as plate 11 in his publication: Etchings of Domestic Subjects (London 1836).1
The present work has descended in the family of Ronald John Rickett, known as John, who was a director of British Pictures at Sotheby’s in the 1960s.
1. Lewis's original drawing for the etching was sold as part of the Sir Bruce Ingram collection in these Room, 17 February 1965, lot 658.
