Regency Miniature Profile Portrait Of A Lady Attributed To Henri De Janvry (french, 1768-1843)

£320    $399    €384
Attributed to Henri de Janvry (French, 1768-1843) – Unsigned Miniature Profile Portrait of a Lady. Grisaille, painted with watercolour on ivory and housed in a conventional early 19th century English frame. A printed card bearing the name Miss Norris originally came with the portrait.
 
Ivory: 3 1/8 x 2 1/2 in. (8 x 6.4 cm.)
 
Frame: 5 1/2 x 4 7/8 in. (14 x 12.3 cm.)
 
Registered ivory: GLPFH7EE
 
The miniature painter Samuel Andrews (1767 ?- 1807) may also be considered.
 
Painted in the distinctive en grisaille style, set against a darkly painted background in shades of grey directly onto ivory. The style resembles that of the French miniature painter Henri de Janvry, who worked in England from London addresses. He exhibited at the R.A. 1798-1800 and may also have worked in America. Quote: Miniatures, Dictionary and Guide, Daphne Foskett, pub 1979. Page 576.
 
Besides painting miniatures in water-colour and enamel he also engraved stones. His signature was H.J. (the J passing through the cross bar of the H), H.J., and H. de Janvry. Sometimes he added a date. Examples of his work may be seen at the V&A Museum and the N.P.G., London. A portrait of Mrs. Fitzherbert (wife of George IV) signed in monogram and dated ‘1796’ is at the V&A Museum.
