Description

Gerrit Schipper 1775 - 1832

Portrait of General Dudley Craig

pastel

27 x 22 cm. (10.3/4 x 8.3/4 in.)

Gerrit Schipper (baptized 13 September 1775, Amsterdam – c. 1832

London) was a Dutch painter specializing in pastel portraiture and miniature portrait paintings. After studying in Paris in the 1790s, he spent time in Brussels and Russia. He is believed to have arrived in the United States in 1802. He was active in New York, Charleston, Savannah, and several cities in Massachusetts. In about 1807 he moved to Canada and spent time in Quebec City and Montreal, where he produced many portraits of notable local people. He moved to England in 1810.

One of Schipper's most notable subjects was Sir Isaac Brock whom he painted a pastel portrait of whilst Brock was stationed in Upper Canada. The portrait remained in the collection of Brock until his death in 1812 and thence to his relatives. It was recently acquired by the Guernsey Museum and Art Gallery. His works are represented in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, McCord Museum, Guernsey Museum and Art Gallery and the National Gallery of Canada.

FAQs

Portrait miniatures emerged in the 16th century and reached peak popularity during the 18th century as portable keepsakes of family members or military figures prior to the invention of photography.

These detailed artworks were predominantly painted using watercolour or gouache on thin ivory, vellum, or paper substrates, often protected behind glass within metal or wooden frames.

Authentic Georgian examples feature period-accurate clothing such as military uniforms or wigs, fine stippled brushwork, natural age-related patination, and era-appropriate backing materials.

These small-scale artworks can be displayed on gallery walls, arranged on display ledges, or placed within a bookshelf setting alongside leather-bound books and brass decorative objects.

Keep portrait miniatures away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels, gently wiping the protective glass with a dry microfibre cloth without exposing the artwork to liquids.
