Michael Carteighe – President of the Pharmaceutical Society 1882–1896

Description

Portrait in oils of Michael Carteighe (1841–1910), President of the Pharmaceutical Society 1882–1896.
Painted by Arthur John Foster (b.1860) in 1890. Framed.

In The Chemist and Druggist, 1902 it is recorded that Foster “has recently” painted in the writing table as a later addition, because the “the lolling attitude of the figure always gave one the impression that by and by Mr. Carteighe would slip out of his chair and fall with a crash on the floor.”
