EDITORS COMMENTS
In this self-portrait, artist John Hamilton Mortimer takes us back in time to the mid-18th century. The painting showcases a moment of familial connection and shared passion for the outdoors. Standing proudly at the center is Mortimer himself, flanked by his father and brother. Their presence exudes an air of camaraderie and hints at their close bond. The composition is rich with symbolism and details that bring the scene to life. Mortimer's skilled brushwork captures not only the likeness of his family members but also their individual personalities. A pair of loyal hounds stands faithfully beside them, embodying loyalty and companionship. The setting reveals their shared love for hunting as they hold shotguns and rifles, evidence of their prowess in pursuing game birds like snipe or woodcock. In a poignant touch, one such bird lies lifeless on the ground nearby, signifying both triumph over nature's challenges and mortality itself. Beyond its intimate portrayal of family ties, this artwork also offers a glimpse into English society during this era. The landscape surrounding them suggests vast open spaces where they can indulge in their favorite pastime. Preserved within Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection, this self-portrait serves as a testament to Mortimer's artistic talent while providing viewers with an intriguing window into 18th-century England.
