Frederick Buck Portrait Miniature

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Wigs on the Green

Shown in profile against an atmospheric background, this young lady – probably still in her teens – wears a daringly low-cut cross-over gown trimmed with cornflower blue ribbon. Her coiffured ringlets are topped with a large mob cap in a style that became popular during the late 1780s.

The younger son of an Irish silversmith, Frederick Buck (1765-1840) was a prolific and resourceful artist working mostly in his native Cork where his sitters comprised the local gentry and the passing military. He married twice and had at least eight children.
