Painting Description
"An Officer Of The 8th King's Own Royal Irish Light Dragoons, Wearing Blue Uniform, With Red Facings, Silver Lace And Wings, His Shoulder Belt Featuring A Harp, His Hair Powdered And Worn" is a distinguished miniature painting by the renowned Irish artist Walter Robertson. This exquisite work exemplifies the detailed and refined artistry that characterized Robertson's career, particularly his skill in capturing the intricate details of military attire and the dignified presence of his subjects.
Walter Robertson, often referred to as "Irish Robertson," was born in Dublin around 1750 and became one of the most prominent miniaturists of his time. He was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the textures and colors of fabrics, metals, and other materials with remarkable precision. His works were highly sought after by the elite of Irish and British society, and he eventually moved to the United States, where he continued to enjoy considerable success.
In this particular miniature, Robertson portrays an officer of the 8th King's Own Royal Irish Light Dragoons, a regiment known for its distinctive and elaborate uniforms. The officer is depicted in a blue uniform adorned with red facings and silver lace, which were characteristic of the regiment's attire. The inclusion of wings on the shoulders and the harp on the shoulder belt further emphasize the officer's distinguished rank and the regiment's Irish heritage. The powdered hair, styled in the fashion of the time, adds to the overall elegance and formality of the portrait.
Robertson's use of color and light in this miniature is masterful, with the blue and red hues of the uniform contrasting beautifully against the more subdued tones of the officer's powdered hair and the background. The silver lace and other metallic elements are rendered with a level of detail that highlights Robertson's exceptional skill in miniature painting.
This work not only serves as a testament to Walter Robertson's artistic prowess but also provides a valuable historical insight into the military regalia of the late 18th century. It remains a significant piece within the genre of miniature portraiture and continues to be admired for its artistic and historical value.
