EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable enamel on copper portrait of Lydia Garner, created by the talented artist Nathaniel Hone in 1753. The delicate artwork is part of a private collection and depicts Lydia facing right, adorned in an exquisite lace-bordered blue silk dress. Her upswept brown hair is elegantly styled with a blue ribbon, complementing her youthful appearance. A drop pearl earring adds a touch of sophistication to her overall look. The background features a wall and pillar, providing depth to the composition. Hone's attention to detail is evident through his monogram signature and the date NH. 1753 in the lower right corner of the piece. Additionally, he inscribed Lydia Garner AEt: 16,1753 N. Hone Pinxit on the counter-enamel. Measuring just 1 9/16 inches (40 mm. ) high, this oval-shaped miniature painting is beautifully presented within a gilt-metal mount that further enhances its elegance. This enchanting image captures alluring aspects of Georgian fashion and style from the eighteenth century - from Lydia's stunning blue gown to her carefully arranged hair and accessories like the pearl earring. It offers viewers an intimate glimpse into both artistic skill and historical context surrounding women's fashion during this period. (Photo credit: eChristies Images; Irish)
