Beschreibung
French school; circa 1790.
"Portrait of a gentleman.
Gouache on vellum mounted on a silver cover with rhinestone border.
It presents damages in the pictorial surface and the loss of one of the stones of the frame.
Measurements: 5 x 5 cm; 7 x 6,5 cm (frame).
Miniature portrait of a knight. The protagonist, who stands out for his youth, is inscribed in an oval in condition to the format of the support. The pastel tones with which the scene has been treated, such as the pink of the waistcoat or the blue of the background, bring us aesthetically close to the French school. It is worth noting that the work has neoclassical decoration on the back, which is combined with an inscription reading "L'amitié", i.e. friendship. This indicates that this work was a personal gift.
From the Renaissance, miniature portraits, framed in a circle or oval, were pieces for private contemplation. Considered as jewellery, in the 17th century they became pieces of personal adornment or a gift, when they were mounted as jewellery. They were executed in a wide variety of techniques, such as oil on copper, pewter or ivory, gouaches on parchment or cardboard and, from the 18th century, watercolour on ivory. This delicate art was gradually lost from the second half of the 19th century onwards, in parallel with the development of photography. The most common type of work of this type in the 19th century were historicist representations, often set in the preceding century. However, the portrait we present here takes up the spirit of the eighteenth-century portrait-jewel and applies it to modern times, capturing the image of a real woman of her time, no longer a Romantic-style ideal recreation.
