UNSIGNED (British School, 19th Century) PORTRAIT OF WILLIAM CAREY.

UNSIGNED (British School, 19th Century) PORTRAIT OF WILLIAM CAREY. Large oil on canvas half portrait of a middle-aged man holding a coronation-type red and gold trimmed robe at chest. Dark background in a slightly side-angled view. The stretcher has an old, torn label “Side of Wm Carey”. Also and old auction description indicating at one time it was sold as a John Singer Sargent. We believe this portrait to be William Carey (August 17, 1761 – June 9, 1834) who was an English Protestant missionary and Baptist minister, known as the “father of modern missions.” Carey was one of the founders of the Baptist Missionary Society.
