Painting Description
"A Portrait of a Gentleman with Powdered Hair En Queue, Wearing Red Coat with Gold Buttons, 1783" is an 18th-century oil painting by the Scottish artist John Bogle, known for his portrait work during the Georgian era. This artwork captures the essence of late 18th-century fashion and societal norms through the depiction of an unidentified gentleman dressed in the typical attire of the period. The subject is portrayed with powdered hair styled en queue, a fashionable hairstyle of the time where the hair is tied at the back, often with a black ribbon, and powdered to achieve a white or off-white appearance.
The gentleman wears a striking red coat adorned with gold buttons, a sartorial choice that reflects the status and wealth of the sitter, as bright colors and precious metals were indicators of affluence in the 18th century. The coat, with its structured shoulders and fitted waist, exemplifies the tailoring and design of men's garments of the period. Bogle's attention to detail in the rendering of the fabric's texture and the intricate design of the buttons adds a tactile quality to the painting.
John Bogle, active from the 1760s to the 1800s, was a notable portraitist in Scotland, although not as widely recognized as his contemporaries. His works are characterized by their clarity, attention to detail, and the ability to capture the personality and social standing of his subjects. "A Portrait of a Gentleman with Powdered Hair En Queue, Wearing Red Coat with Gold Buttons, 1783" is a fine example of Bogle's portraiture, offering insight into the artist's skill in portraying the elegance and dignity of his sitters.
This painting serves as a valuable historical document, providing viewers with a glimpse into the fashion, culture, and aesthetics of the late 18th century. It is a testament to the artist's proficiency in portraiture and contributes to our understanding of the visual and material culture of the Georgian era.
