Frederick Buck, Portrait Of An Officer

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

Frederick Buck, the creator of this work, was a highly successful and prolific Irish miniaturist best known for his commissioned portraits of the many officers passing through the busy port of his home city, Cork, on their way to foreign campaigns. Said to be from the 34th (Cumberland) Regiment of Foot, the officer wears a powdered pigtail wig, his coat faced with cream and decorated with silver braid and silver epaulettes.
 
The portrait resides in the original gold frae with chased decoration reverse. It is in fine condition though there is a solitary thunderbug trapped under the glass and a scratch to the underside of the glass at 5 o’clock which the camera has magnified.
