EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases Henry Hoare of Beckenham, a prominent figure in 18th-century England. The portrait, skillfully created by William Hoare of Bath, captures the essence of this distinguished gentleman with remarkable detail and precision. Henry Hoare was not only known for his aristocratic status but also for being the husband of the artist's daughter. This fact adds an intriguing layer to the artwork as it reveals a personal connection between the artist and subject. Previously mistaken for Philip Thicknesse, this print has now been correctly attributed to Henry Hoare. The discovery sheds light on the meticulous research that goes into identifying historical figures in art. The three-quarter length composition allows us to admire every aspect of Henry Hoare's attire and demeanor. His costume reflects the fashion trends of the time while exuding an air of sophistication befitting his noble background. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece from our private collection, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever in history.
