Reindeer Antiques has dated this Reverse Glass Portrait Print to the 17th Century.
It is after the painting by Godfrey Kneller (1642-1723) who was court painter from the reign of Charles II to George I. Kneller concentrated almost exclusively on portraiture and his work is a Who's Who of the royal court. As well as his royal portraits his most famous work are the portraits of the Kit Kat Club.
John Smith (1652-1743) was a pioneer of the mezzotint process. Born in Northampton he came to London as an apprentice to Jan Van der Vaart. In 1688 he became chief engraver to Kneller, engraving over a 100 of his portraits.
