The Reverend Dr. Harris
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating portrait that showcases the exceptional talent of artist Bernard Lens III. This miniature masterpiece, measuring 8.3x6.4 cm, beautifully captures the essence of an esteemed figure from British history. The subject of this exquisite painting is none other than The Reverend Dr. Harris himself – a distinguished priest, vicar, and doctor who left an indelible mark on his community. Lens skillfully uses watercolor and gouache over graphite on ivory to bring this remarkable individual to life. Dr. Harris's commanding presence is enhanced by his formal attire and meticulously styled wig, which were typical for men of stature during the time period in which he lived. The oval-shaped medallion framing his likeness adds an air of elegance and sophistication to the composition. Lens expertly utilizes light and shadow to create depth within the roundel format, drawing attention to every intricate detail in this miniature artwork. Through subtle brushstrokes and delicate color choices, he captures not only Dr. Harris's physical appearance but also hints at his character and wisdom. This extraordinary piece now resides at Yale Center for British Art as part of their prestigious Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. It serves as a testament to both Lens' artistic prowess and Dr. Harris's significant contributions to society during his lifetime.
