Self-portrait of the Artist, 1763
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite and evocative work of art by the renowned Irish painter, Nathaniel Hone (1718-1784). This masterpiece, created in the 1760s, is an English watercolor on ivory, showcasing Hone's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of a moment in time. The oval-shaped, one-person portrait presents Hone gazing directly at the viewer, his head and shoulders adorned in the fashionable attire of the eighteenth century. Hone's outfit consists of a red jacket, a white shirt with a lace jabot, a black waistcoat, and a pendant around his neck. The artist's hair is styled in a wig, adding to the refined and sophisticated appearance. The intricate details of the clothing, the texture of the fabric, and the vibrant colors all contribute to the lifelike quality of the portrait. The self-portrait was painted during Hone's time in Britain, reflecting the influence of the country's artistic scene. However, Hone's Irish heritage is also evident in the direct gaze and the sense of individuality that permeates the portrait. This work of art is now part of the collection at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world. The self-portrait serves as a testament to Hone's enduring legacy as a painter and his ability to capture the essence of a person in a single, timeless image. The portrait's intimate scale, with its head and shoulders composition, invites the viewer to connect with the artist on a personal level, making it a truly remarkable piece of heritage art.
