    Make An Enquiry

    This fine early 19th-century English oil painting depicts Samuel Jones of Skeyton, Norfolk, smartly attired in a black coat with white cravat. The portrait was previously in the collection of William Sidney Charles Copeman CBE TD FRCP (1900-1970), a medical historian.

    Following a thorough search of the ancestry records, it appears that Samuel Jones was born in 1762 to Thomas and Mary of Halvergate, Norfolk, but, following his marriage in 1779 to Deborah Bulwer, raised a family in Skeyton, Norfolk. One of his daughters, Elizabeth Jones (1781-1868) married Edward Breese Copeman, hence the connection to the previous owner William Sidney Charles Copeman. Here, we see him portrayed circa 1830. Little is known of his profession but it seems that he was descended from a farming family. 

    Unsigned and held in a period frame.
