Painting Description
"A Miniature Portrait of Mrs. Ormsby Hamilton, Killiney Castle, Co. Dublin" is an exquisite example of the miniature painting genre by the English artist Andrew Plimer (1763–1837). Plimer, who was known for his detailed and delicate portrait miniatures, was a prominent artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This particular work, as the title suggests, features Mrs. Ormsby Hamilton, a lady of social standing, set against the backdrop of Killiney Castle in County Dublin, Ireland.
The miniature is a testament to Plimer's skill in capturing the elegance and grace of his subjects, as well as his ability to render landscapes and architectural features with precision. The portrait likely dates from the late 18th century to the early 19th century, a period when portrait miniatures were highly fashionable as personal mementos and tokens of affection among the gentry and aristocracy.
While the exact dimensions and current location of the miniature are not specified, works of this kind were typically small enough to be held in the hand or worn as a piece of jewelry. The portrait would have been executed in watercolor on ivory, a common medium for miniatures of this period, allowing for a luminous quality and fine detail.
Andrew Plimer, after apprenticing with a clockmaker, turned to painting and studied under his brother Nathaniel, who was also a miniature painter. Andrew Plimer gained recognition for his work and exhibited at the Royal Academy. His miniatures are now held in various collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.
The miniature of Mrs. Ormsby Hamilton is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insight into the fashion and society of the time. It stands as a charming example of Plimer's artistry and the broader tradition of miniature painting in the Georgian era.
