Self Portrait

Thomas Clement Thompson was born in 1780 and according
to Walter Strickland was probably a native of Belfast. He was
admitted to the Dublin Society drawing schools at the age of
sixteen. His career began however as a miniature painter in
Belfast and Dublin and after developing a reputation in this field
he abandoned it in order to concentrate on portrait painting in
oil. He acquired a good practice painting, as Strickland put it,
many persons of distinction. Thompson was one of the founding
members of the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1823 and exhibited
regularly himself up to 1852. Another self-portrait where he
represents himself, palette in hand, before an easel on which is his
portrait of George IV, is in the collection of The National Gallery
of Ireland.
