Provenance

 Private collection, England

 Nicolas Wilhlelm Jungman, also known as Nico Jungmann, was a Dutch painter

of landscapes and figural subjects, a book-illustrator and decorator. He was

born in Amsterdam, where he was apprenticed to a church painter, and studied

at the Rijksakademie. He came to London about 1893 on a scholarship and

became a naturalized British subject, returning to the Netherlands frequently, to

paint in the north Holland town of Volendam. In 1900 Jungmann married

Beatrix Mackay with whom he had three children, Lloyd, Zita and Teresa

(nicknamed “Baby”). As a naturalized Briton, he was interned by German

forces during the First World War, which led eventually to the break-up of his

marriage. Jungman made several painting excursions to Brittany and Holland

with his friend and fellow painter Charles W. Bartlett. He illustrated

topographical books on Holland  (1904) and Norway  (1905) for which his wife

Beatrix wrote the text, as well as one on Normandy  (1905) with a text by

Geraldine Edith Mitton. Jungmann died, aged 63, in London.

 

After their divorce in 1918, Beatrix remarried to become the second wife of

Richard Guinness from the banking branch of the Guinness family. She stood

godmother in 1931 to the infant Patrick Guinness (1931-1965), son of her

husband’s nephew Thomas “Loel” Guinness and his first wife Hon Joan Yarde-

Buller (later Princess Aly Khan).

 

Jungmann’s daughters Zita and Teresa became famous as two of the original

“Bright Young People” in the 1920s, and both lived to be 102. Teresa married

Graham Cuthbertson in 1940 and had two children, Penelope and Richard.
