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.

Price: £720

FAQs

A mezzotint is an eighteenth-century intaglio printmaking technique created by roughening a copper plate with a rocker tool and smoothing area surfaces to create tonal gradations from dark to light.

Georgian mezzotint prints were printed on handmade rag paper using oil-based ink, often housed in timber frames with gilded or ebonised details.

Authentic period mezzotints display plate marks along the image perimeter, visible paper laid lines, characteristic tonal velvety blacks, and publisher inscriptions at the lower margin.

Historical prints can be arranged as part of a curated gallery wall alongside modern artwork, or hung individually above traditional dark wood furniture to create a focal point.

Keep prints out of direct sunlight, maintain stable humidity levels, and utilize conservation glass with acid-free mounting materials to prevent yellowing and paper degradation.
