Description

An early 19thc hand coloured engraving of Horatio Viscount Nelson, also known as Admiral Lord Nelson, dating to c1836. The image is based on a painting of Nelson by John Hoppner (1753-1810) and engraved by Thomas Phillibrown an engraver active 1834-1860. A full length portrait of Nelson is held in the Royal Collection and this engraving appears to be based on the upper body, and dashing looks, of Nelson in that painting. Hoppner was a renowned colourist and this is reflected in the rich deep colours in this engraving. The printed names of both artist and engraver appear at bottom left and right of the image. I have framed the engraving in a decorative antique frame, made of oak and bois durci, a hard plaster like material. The frame dates to mid 19th, and has a silver gilt slip within. The engraving is behind glass. Both engraving and frame are lovely quality and excellent condition.
