EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Richard Humphreys, 1788" captures the essence of a remarkable English prize-fighter. Created by John Hoppner in 1788, this artwork measures an impressive 73.5x57 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The subject of this portrait is none other than Richard Humphries (c. 1760-1827), a renowned heavyweight champion known for his exceptional skills and fearless demeanor inside the boxing ring. In this image, Humphries exudes confidence as he stands tall in his defensive stance, ready to take on any opponent that comes his way. Humphries' youthful energy shines through as he gazes directly at the viewer with determination etched across his face. The artist masterfully captures every detail of the boxer's physique and attire - from his muscular build to the traditional breeches worn during bareknuckle boxing matches. This lithograph not only showcases Humphries' physical prowess but also highlights him as a gentleman boxer who embodies both strength and grace. It serves as a testament to the athleticism and skill required for pugilism during that era. As we admire this engraving today, we are transported back in time to witness one of history's most celebrated sportsmen in action – Richard Humphries – forever immortalized through artistry by John Hoppner.
