EDITORS COMMENTS
This mezzotint print from 1762 showcases the distinguished figure of Robert Dingley (1710-1781), a prominent merchant, banker, and philanthropist of his time. The artist behind this exquisite piece is William Hoare of Bath (1707-92), renowned for his skillful portraiture. In this portrait, Dingley sits in an elegant manner, exuding an air of sophistication and intelligence. His three-quarter length pose allows us to appreciate the fine details captured by Hoare's masterful hand. Clad in a fashionable wig that was popular during the era, Dingley holds a book in his hands, symbolizing his intellectual pursuits and perhaps hinting at his love for literature. The mezzotint technique used here adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its overall richness. The attention to detail is remarkable; every crease on Dingley's clothing and every strand of hair on his wig are meticulously rendered. This artwork now resides within a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm. It serves as both a historical record of one man's achievements and as a testament to the artistic talent that flourished during the 18th century in England.
