Ozias Humphry
Ozias Humphry (or Humphrey) (8 September 1742 – 9 March 1810) was a leading English painter of portrait miniatures, later oils and pastels, of the 18th century. He was elected to the Royal Academy in 1791, and in 1792 he was appointed ''Portrait Painter in Crayons to the King'' (i.e. pastels).
==Name==
''Humphry'' is the spelling Ozias himself used in his signature〔A photo of this signature is reproduced in: R. Walker, ''The Eighteenth and early Nineteenth Century Miniatures in the Collection of Her Majesty the Queen'', Cambridge 1992.〕 on the backing card of his miniature of ''Charlotte, Princess Royal'' (1769; Windsor Castle). This is also the spelling given in the catalogues of the annual exhibitions of the Royal Academy from 1779 to 1795.〔see Algernon Graves, ''The Royal Academy of Arts. A complete dictionary of contributors and their work from its foundation in 1769 to 1904'', vol. IV, London 1906, s.v. Humphry, Ozias, R.A.〕
The different spelling in the far more common form of ''Humphrey'' may originally well be due to a mistake but was already in use during his own lifetime. It appears thus in the Royal Academy catalogues for the years 1796 and 1797〔 as well as in the writings of Horace Walpole and John Thomas Smith.〔John Thomas Smith, ''Nollekens and his Times'', London 1828 ("Humprey"’s biography on pages 357 to 368). An example of this use is online in the "Blake" section, second edition 1829, volume 2 p. 489〕
Humphry is the generally used spelling today.〔See for example (V. Remington, ''Humphry, Ozias (1742–1810)'' ), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 (online edn, Oct 2007), and the (search result page ) of the National Art Library〕
