Portman Square in 1813 & Royal Institution, Interior of the Library

Rudolph Ackermann

Art Funded
1992
Bequeathed by
Agnes Wyatt through The Art Fund
Two nineteenth-century coloured engravings bequeathed to the Courtauld Institute through the Art Fund in 1992 by Miss Agnes Wyatt, a former student of the Institute who joined its staff and retired as Head of the Slide Library.

It is most fitting that the engravings, which were presented to her by her colleagues on her retirement, should return to the Institute.

Made in 1772, a splendid clock with a case of ormolu, glass and enamel was a version by Matthew Boulton of the clock-case made for King George III in 1771. It is one of several made after the initial royal commission, which set a small-scale fashion in motion.

A mosaic portrait of Sir Nicholas Goodison (former Chairman of the Coutauld Institute and the Art Fund) by Tom Phillips is an evocative exercise in contrast, setting the classical formality of its technique against the modern, informal portrait it creates.
