"A Miniature Portrait of a Gentleman Wearing a Brown Coat and White Cravat, Having Powdered Hair" is an exquisite example of the art of miniature painting by the renowned English artist George Engleheart (1750–1829). Engleheart, a leading miniaturist of his time, was known for his delicate and detailed portraits, often capturing the elegance and refinement of the Georgian era. This particular miniature, true to Engleheart's style, presents a gentleman of status, as indicated by his fashionable attire and the refined pose that was typical of the period's portraiture.

The subject of the portrait is depicted with powdered hair, a style that was highly popular among the gentry and nobility in the late 18th century. His attire, consisting of a brown coat and a crisply tied white cravat, epitomizes the sartorial elegance of the era. Engleheart's skill in rendering the textures of fabric and hair, as well as his ability to capture the subtle nuances of the sitter's expression, is evident in this work.

The miniature is executed in watercolor on ivory, a medium that allowed for the luminous and smooth finish characteristic of Engleheart's portraits. The small scale of the work requires viewers to engage closely with the piece, inviting an intimate contemplation of the subject's character and the artist's technique. Engleheart's miniatures were often commissioned as personal keepsakes or tokens of affection, making them not only works of art but also artifacts of personal and sentimental value.

As with many of Engleheart's miniatures, this portrait is likely to have been encased in a locket or a small frame, intended to be worn or displayed in the private spaces of the home. The identity of the gentleman in the portrait remains unknown, but the work stands as a testament to Engleheart's mastery of the miniature form and provides insight into the aesthetics and social mores of the late 18th-century British upper class.
