A George III era silhouette of a young gentleman dated 1785 and painted by G Muriel Smith according to a label on the reverse. The image is painted in black on paper. It is mounted in its original easel back frame, inside a brass oval surround. It also has an acorn leaf loop for hanging on the wall. The image is of a young man, in a formal double breasted jacket, with brass or silver buttons and an elaborate cravat. The hair is tied back in a beribboned pigtail. Judging from the clothing, this may well be a young naval officer, a lieutenant or similar, and this would have been a keepsake for family or a loved one. It is in excellent condition. Image dimensions 6x4.5cm.We are happy to discuss your enquiries by phone, What’s App or email.
