      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Ozias Humphry was a leading English painter of portrait miniatures, later oils and pastels, of the 18th century. He was elected to the Royal Academy in 1791, and in 1792 he was appointed Portrait Painter in Crayons to the King (ie pastels). Born and schooled in Honiton, Devon, Humphrey was attracted by the gallery of casts opened by the Duke of Richmond and came to London to study art at Shipley’s school. He also studied art in Bath (under Samuel Collins, taking over his practice in 1762); in Bath, he lodged with Thomas Linley. As a young artist, his talent was encouraged by Thomas Gainsborough and Sir Joshua Reynolds, among others. His problems with his sight, which were finally to lead to blindness, began in the early 1770s and forced him to paint larger works in oils and pastel.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Captain Constantine John Phipps 1779</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">He travelled to Italy in 1773 with his great friend George Romney, stopping en route at Knole, near Sevenoaks in Kent, where the Duke of Dorset commissioned several works from him. His stay in Italy lasted until 1777.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/humphry/RicePortrait.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Rice Portrait, Claimed to Be of Jane Austen, 1790’s-1810’s</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">On his return, his numerous subjects included George Stubbs (1777), fellow Academician Dominic Serres, the chemist Joseph Priestley, and a portrait claimed to be of the teenage Jane Austen, from perhaps as early as 1790 (clothing styles suggest a later date), known as the “Rice” portrait after a later owner, though this has always been a controversial attribution of the sitter. This failed to reach its minimum estimate in a Christies auction in April 2007, and was withdrawn from sale. His pupils included John Opie. He compiled a fifty page manuscript A Memoir of George Stubbs, based on what Stubbs had related to him; it is the only contemporary biography. This was edited and privately published in the 1870’s and republished in 2005. He also knew William Blake, and commissioned copies of some of his illustrated books. At least one of Blake’s letters to him is a significant document for Blake’s biography.</p>

      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">From 1785 to 1787, he traveled to India, producing many miniatures and sketches. He was elected a member of the Royal Academy in 1791. In 1792 he was appointed Portrait Painter in Crayons to the King. Most of his many portraits of the Royal Family are still in the Royal Collection.His sight finally failed in 1797 and he died in 1810 in Hampstead, north London.</p>

      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">The bulk of his possessions came into the hands of his natural son, William Upcott, the book collector. From him the British Museum acquired a large number of papers relating to Humphry. He is alluded to in some lines by Hayley.</p>
