Isaac Wane Slater Fine Portrait of a Lady in a Bonnet

19th century
Description

There’s an old saying that if you want ‘to get noticed, get a hat’ and that is just what the young lady has done. Her eye-catching bonnet is beautifully trimmed with a peach and white rosette with long ribbons tied under her neck in a loose bow. Her bonnet, along with her traditionally white empire-line dress, contrast well with her long dark curls, brown eyes and florid complexion.

*

The portrait is set in the original gold frame and is glazed on the reverse to show neatly plaited brown hair.

*

Isaac Wane Slater (1785-1836) was the son of an established portrait artist and honed his skill working alongside his two equally talented brothers under the guidance of their father. He exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1821 and 1836.

This Regency portrait miniature by Isaac Wane Slater depicts a young woman with dark curly hair, brown eyes and a florid complexion, wearing a white empire-line dress and a peach-trimmed bonnet with a large rosette and ribbons. The watercolour painting uses fine stippled brushwork to define her features and is set within an original gold-plated metal frame featuring a decorative hanging loop at the top. The round glass-faced metal bezel has smooth polished surfaces and minor age wear around the edges, while the reverse is glazed to reveal neatly plaited brown hair. Measuring 7.7 cm high and 6.3 cm wide, the diminutive oval portrait is well-suited for display on a narrow wall space, a desk stand or inside a bespoke cabinet. Placed in a study, library or hallway, it brings authentic Georgian character and detailed miniature portraiture to traditional interior settings.

FAQs

Portrait miniatures are small-scale paintings, typically executed in watercolour on ivory, vellum, or card, that originated in the 16th century and gained widespread popularity during the Georgian and Regency periods as personal tokens of affection or remembrance.

Artists primarily applied watercolour or gouache thinly to thin wafers of ivory, vellum, or porcelain, which were then fitted inside brass, gold, or silver frames with protective glass fronts.

Authentic Georgian portrait miniatures typically feature delicate stippling or hatching brushwork under magnification, period-accurate attire and hair styling, period framing mechanisms, and natural metal oxidisation.

These small artworks can be incorporated into a gallery wall, displayed on a bookshelf easel, or hung alongside framed mirrors to introduce historic depth to modern interior spaces.

Position the miniature away from direct sunlight and high humidity, maintain a stable ambient room temperature, and clean the exterior glass gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth without liquid solutions.
