He was Superintendent of the British Institution from its foundation in 1805, Surveyor, Cleaner and Repairer of the King’s Pictures from 1820 and Keeper of the National Gallery from its foundation in 1824. He continued in all three positions until his death. He also advised many private collectors on buying, hanging and cleaning paintings.\n\nSeguier’s training in trade, the fact that he had never been to Italy and had a Cockney accent prompted continual jibes, but it was conceded that although he lacked airs and graces he was an excellent judge of pictures.\n\nJackson’s portrait shows Seguier at the age of 58. The artist, an old friend of the sitter, died before finishing the portrait, which was commissioned by one of Seguier’s most wealthy private clients, George Watson Taylor MP.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/john-jackson-william-seguier\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - William Seguier\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Jackson","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509776322803,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (31\" x 25 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509776355571,"sku":null,"price":1317.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (19 5\/8\" x 16 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509776388339,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24\" x 19 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509776421107,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (29 1\/2\" x 24 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509776453875,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (38\" x 31 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509776486643,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (45 5\/8\" x 37 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509776519411,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (53 3\/4\" x 44 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509776552179,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (64 1\/2\" x 53 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509776584947,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/WilliamSeguier.jpg?v=1788688255","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/william-seguier-ngal1074","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
