EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable enamel on copper portrait of Thomas Stephens, painted by the talented Nathaniel Hone in 1753. Standing at a mere height of 4.4 cm, this miniature masterpiece captures the essence and elegance of its subject. Thomas Stephens, aged thirty-six at the time, is depicted wearing a vibrant crimson coat adorned with intricate gold braiding. His attire is completed by a pristine white waistcoat, powdered hair styled en queue and topped off with a black wig bag. The attention to detail is truly astonishing. The artist's signature monogram and date NH / 1753 can be found on the lower right corner of the obverse side. On the counter-enamel, Hone has inscribed "Thos Stephens / AET. 36.1753 / NHone pinx. t" providing us with valuable information about both the sitter and painter. This pendant-style portrait focuses solely on Thomas Stephens' head and shoulders within an oval frame—a popular style during Georgian times for such intimate portraits known as miniatures. Thanks to eChristies Images' expert photography skills, we are able to admire this exquisite piece from an Irish private collection that beautifully encapsulates not only Thomas Stephens but also the fashion trends and artistic techniques prevalent during that era.
