Lambert (McKechnie Section 3)

Recorded by Jackson (Dictionary) on account of a silhouette, dated 1809, owned by a Mr Holworthy. Graves (Royal Academy, Dictionary of Contributors) lists three artists named Lambert who exhibited at the Royal Academy and who might have painted silhouettes earlier in their careers: E. F. Lambert, of 1 Eccleston Street, North Pimlico, who exhibited a `portrait of a chairman' in 1823; G. F. Lambert, a painter who exhibited from 36 Commercial Road, Waterloo Bridge, 1825-46; and J. W. Lambert, of Carshalton and Croydon, who exhibited 1822-43. All that is known about Lambert's surviving silhouette is that it was painted on flat glass and represented a woman. It was presumably in bust-length and was probably signed.
