Painting Description
"Portrait of Mrs. Russell, née Cox (1781)" is a miniature portrait by the renowned English painter John Smart (1741–1811), who was celebrated for his mastery in creating detailed and exquisite portrait miniatures during the 18th century. The artwork, executed in watercolor on ivory, depicts Mrs. Russell, whose maiden name was Cox, and is a fine example of Smart's work during his time in India, where he moved in 1785 and continued to practice his craft with great success.
The portrait is characteristic of Smart's style, which is noted for its delicate brushwork, precise detail, and subtle use of color. Mrs. Russell is portrayed with the refined elegance typical of the period's aesthetic, her attire and accessories rendered with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting both her social status and the fashion of the time. The miniature would have been a personal keepsake, perhaps commissioned by Mrs. Russell or her family, serving as an intimate reminder of her likeness in an era before the advent of photography.
John Smart's work is highly regarded by art historians and collectors alike, and his miniatures are considered some of the finest examples of the genre. "Portrait of Mrs. Russell, née Cox" not only showcases Smart's technical skill but also provides insight into the cultural and social milieu of the late 18th century. The portrait remains an important piece within the oeuvre of John Smart, illustrating the enduring appeal of portrait miniatures as a form of personal and artistic expression during the Georgian era.
