The painting by Philip Hermogenes Calderon was originally in the collection of A & F Pears.

Francis Pears' son-in-law and Pears Managing Director, Thomas Barratt, was instrumental in bringing Calderon's fresh-faced cricketer to a wider audience.

With Barratt's understanding of the Victorian audience and the appeal of childhood images, it is perhaps not surprising that he is sometime referred to as the father of modern advertising.

"Pears pioneered modern advertising techniques using images to reinforce the qualities they wanted the public to associate with the product," Bonhams Director of 19th Century Paintings, Peter Rees said.

Born in France of a French mother and Spanish father, Philip Calderon was the leader of a group of artists called the St John's Wood Clique, whose aim was to introduce a fresh approach to historical painting. Calderon was a highly regarded Royal Academician; his most famous work, Broken Vows, is in the Collection of Tate Britain.
