Painting Description
"Depicting A Lady Bust Length In Profile, Wearing A Frilled Collar; Painted On Plaster, Bears Broken J Miers, Leeds, Trade Label Attached To The Reverse, Oval, 8.5x7cm" is a notable work by the prominent British silhouette artist John Miers (1756–1821). This piece exemplifies Miers' mastery in capturing the delicate profiles of his subjects, a popular form of portraiture in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The artwork features a lady depicted in profile, a common pose that emphasizes the subject's refined features and elegant attire, in this case, a frilled collar, which was a fashionable accessory of the period.
The medium of the portrait is particularly interesting; it is painted on plaster, a choice that suggests a desire for permanence and a nod to classical bas-reliefs. The presence of a broken trade label from Miers' studio in Leeds on the reverse of the oval piece provides provenance and authenticates the work as one of Miers' creations. Measuring 8.5 by 7 centimeters, the small scale of the work reflects the intimate nature of silhouette portraiture, which was often kept in private collections or exchanged among friends and family as personal mementos.
John Miers is renowned for his skill in silhouette cutting and painting, and his works are considered an important part of British portraiture history. His career spanned over five decades, during which he established successful studios in London and Leeds. Miers' silhouettes are characterized by their accuracy and attention to detail, which he achieved without the use of mechanical devices, a testament to his artistic talent. This particular piece is a fine example of Miers' work and contributes to the understanding of silhouette art as a significant cultural practice in Georgian and Regency Britain.
