J. Thomason Of Dublin Painted Silhouette

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

The artist’s treatment of this young lady''s curls is particularly accomplished and striking on this profile. Wearing a dress with a buffon, her curls tumble freely over her shoulder.
 
The silhouette is painted on plaster and sits in the original hammered brass frame.Both frame and silhouette are in fine condition though it lacks the artist’s trade label.
 
J. Thomason is known to have worked mainly in Dublin where he was advertising “Most Striking Likenesses in Miniature Profile” in 1792 and in the north of England where he was advertising in 1796 for “all persons who never could procure a good likeness before, to one more trial” when the artist promised “the fullest satisfaction, or will take nothing for his trouble”. That said, he would surely have been well-rewarded on this occasion!
 
All prices include UK postage. International shipping will be at cost.
