EDITORS COMMENTS
This miniature portrait, titled "Portrait of a Gentleman, 1787" is a stunning example of the exquisite artistry and attention to detail prevalent during the Georgian era. Painted by George Engleheart, one of the most renowned miniaturists of his time, this piece showcases his mastery in watercolor and gouache on ivory. Measuring just 4.2x3.3 cm, this small yet impactful artwork captures the essence and elegance of its subject. The gentleman depicted exudes an air of sophistication with his powdered wig and refined attire, reflecting the fashion trends popular during the late 18th century. The oval shape adds a touch of delicacy to this already intimate portrayal. Every stroke reveals Engleheart's meticulous technique as he brings life to every feature - from the intricate details in the lace cravat to the subtle shading that highlights each contour. Housed at Yale Center for British Art since being gifted by A & K Rapoport, this precious gem offers us a glimpse into history while showcasing Engleheart's talent as a master miniaturist. As we admire this remarkable work through www. bridgemanart. com's print reproduction, we are transported back in time to an era where portraiture was not only about capturing physical likeness but also conveying status and personality through artistic skill.
