Description

As Elizabeth Bennett famously said in ‘Pride and Prejudice’ …

"Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my opinion"

… and that opinion is that this young lady is indeed most reminiscent of Jane Austen as depicted by her sister Cassandra! Pale with a delicate complexion and neatly dressed in white, her brown curls peep out from under her frilled cap.

Painted in watercolour on card, the portrait resides in a gold-plated frame, the reverse glazed to show plaited brown hair.

Framed Size: 88 x 66mm

Provenance: UK Private Collection

Date of Manufacture

Wigs on the Green has dated this Georgian Miniature Portrait to the Regency era.

FAQs

These pieces look effective when grouped in small gallery arrangements on panelled walls, or displayed individually on specialist stands within traditional or eclectic study spaces.

To prevent fading of pigments and degradation of the support material, keep miniatures away from direct sunlight, maintain stable humidity levels, and avoid exposure to extreme temperature fluctuations.

Authentic pieces typically display delicate stippling and cross-hatching brushwork under magnification, hand-beaten metal frames with period fixings, and aged backing materials consistent with eighteenth or nineteenth-century craftsmanship.

Traditional materials included watercolour or gouache paints applied to thin slices of ivory, vellum, or prepared paper, housed within gold, pinchbeck, or brass frames featuring glass crystals.

A Georgian miniature portrait is a small-scale painting, often executed in watercolour on ivory, vellum, or card, highly popular during the 18th and early 19th centuries for commemorating loved ones.
