(1)Provenance: Falmore Hall, Dundalk, Co. Louth, and then by descent to the present owner.Note: William Lukin (1768-1833) was a native of Felbrigg in Norfolk. Thanks largely to the patronage of the local squire William Windham, who was also his step-uncle, he obtained a commission in the Royal Navy and rose rapidly to the rank of captain. He performed with distinction in the Napoleonic Wars, especially during a naval action off Rochefort in the Bayof Biscay in which he captured two French Frigates. He retired in 1814 as Vice-Admiral of the Blue.In 1824 he inherited Felbrigg Hall on the death of the widow of his benefactor, and assumed the additional surname of Windham. He employed the architect W.J. Donthorne to remodel, extend and alter the house and stable block. George Clint (1770-1854) was a talented and prolific portrait painter and engraver, best known for his many theatrical subjects. His portrait of the Vice-Admiral, of which this is a version, hangs at Felbrigg Hall (now a National Trust property). Two of the Vice- Admiral’s daughters married members of the Hare family, and the younger – Maria Augusta, later Countess of Listowel – is also the subject of a fine portrait by Clint.
