EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century portrait, created by the English School between 1740 and 1770, captures the essence of British fashion during this elegant era. The man depicted wears a stylish brown coat, known as a "bassetaille," which was a popular choice among the fashionable elite of the time. The coat is adorned with intricate metal enamel details, adding an air of sophistication and wealth to the image. The man's wig, with its high, rounded shape and long, curled locks, is a hallmark of the period. The man gazes directly at the viewer with a confident and serious expression, his piercing eyes seemingly reaching out from the oval-shaped canvas. He wears a white shirt with a lace jabot at the neck and a simple cravat, both of which were essential components of men's attire during this period. The man's jewelry, including a large enameled pendant, adds a touch of luxury and refinement to the portrait. This miniature masterpiece, with its rich colors and fine details, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the English School. It is a reminder of a time when fashion was an expression of social status and personal identity, and when the art of portrait painting reached new heights of sophistication and beauty. This portrait is now part of the esteemed collection of the Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, one of the finest museums of European art and decorative arts.
