John Savile Lumley

1859. Albumen on paper.
Room 060

During his stay in Madrid, between 1858 and 1860, the English diplomat John Savile Lumley (1818-1896) spent time with Valentín Carderera, Federico and Luis de Madrazo, and purchased a number of works by Goya and Velázquez. A keen amateur painter himself, he is shown in this studio portrait with the characteristic tools of the trade: palette, paintbrushes and a mahlstick.
