Mezzotint Portrait of Queen Charlotte (1744-1818) - By James Mccardell After Jeremiah Meyer.

18th century
Description

Fine early coronation-era mezzotint portrait of Queen Charlotte which represents one of the most prominent official profile likenesses of the young Queen. She is depicted half-length at approximately seventeen or eighteen years of age, shortly after her marriage to King George III in September 1761.

The monarch is depicted in sharp profile facing toward the right in a profile perspective which was was heavily popularised by coronation medals and miniatures designed by Jeremiah Meyer.

Her hair is styled up into a tight series of curls, woven with fine pearls. A delicate tiara sets atop her head, and a wide satin bow secures her hair at the nape of her neck. She wears an elaborate, embroidered brocade dress adorned with a heavily jeweled, laced bodice. Draped over her shoulder is an ermine-lined royal cloak, a classic marker of her new sovereign status.

Reflecting the immense wealth brought by her royal union, she is adorned with a pair of large teardrop pearl earrings, a tight-fitting diamond-studded choker collar, and an additional sweeping pearl-and-jewel necklace falling across her chest.

Framed: 45cm x 36cm

Sheet: 35cm x 25cm

House in high quality ebonised frame with sanded gilt slip.

FAQs

A mezzotint is a monochrome printmaking technique from the intaglio family, popular in the 18th century for reproducing painted portraits with soft tonal gradations and deep shadows.

Mezzotints were produced by rocking a copper plate to create a uniform texture, scraping away areas to form light tones, and printing onto handmade rag paper using oil-based ink.

Authentic 18th-century mezzotints feature visible plate indents around the image margin, characteristic velvety black shading, period laid paper, and engraved publication lines along the bottom edge.

Historical monochrome prints can be incorporated into contemporary gallery walls, hung in traditional study spaces, or styled above a dark timber sideboard to create visual contrast.

Framed paper prints require UV-protective glass, acid-free backing materials, and stable environmental humidity levels away from direct sunlight to prevent foxing and discolouration.
