Andrew Plimer,
British 1763-1837-
Portrait of a lady, bust-length, facing left, wearing a white dress and bandeau, the hair powdered;
watercolour on ivory, oval, 6.9 x 5.5 cm. Ivory submission reference: E8XDPPTU.
Provenance:
Private Collection, UK.
Note:
After briefly training as a clockmaker, Andrew Plimer took a position in the household of the artist Richard Cosway (1742-1821), who trained him in the art of miniature painting. The present lot is a typical example of Plimer’s soft, romantic portraiture. Similar portraits of ladies by Plimer are held in the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London [813-1877] and the Yale Center for British Art [B1974.2.78].
