Silhouette By Thomas Wheeler, 1790

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

This lady''s curious hairstyle with its buckles and mass of frizzed curls together with her long chignon must have taken hours to perfect. It was an ideal style for a profile artist to capture and Wheeler has certainly done it justice. Painted on plaster, the base in scratched on the reverse to read T WHEELER / WINDSOR / 1790. It is housed in the original pressed brass-faced frame, the backing board also signed and dated.
