Murphy, mezzotint, circa 1785-1795.
According to McKay and Roberts, John Hoppner painted this portrait circa 1795-1805. The sitter is said to be Lucius Concannon (circa 1764-1823), recorded in the Eton College Register as a pupil from 1779 to 1783. He later served as a member of parliament for Appleby (1818-1820) and Winchelsea (1820-1823).
In his diary entry dated 21 January 1796, English painter and diarist Joseph Farington, a close friend of Hoppner, provides an amusing biography of this portrait’s sitter:
"Mr. Concann[e]n, who keeps the fashionable gaming house in Grafton Street, is an Irishman, and is nephew to a person who kept a great Snuff Shop in Dublin. This young man came to England, and married the daughter of a person reputed to have a great fortune, while to the young Lady He passed for a man in an affluent situation. The deception was mutual. Neither side had a fortune. Thus circumstanced the young couple went to Paris, where agreeable to the mode which prevailed before the revolution, they took an Hotel, saw much company, who were entertained at Petit-Soupers, and gaming went forward, by which Mr & Mrs Concann[e]n were maintained. In London they have established a similar plan. Mr Concann[e]ns wine and entertainments are the best & most expensive…”1
