An enchanting miniature of a child seated holding flowers
REF
4900
Wearing an elaborate white embroidered dress trimmed with rosettes at the shoulders and exquisite lace bonnet, clutching a basket of red white and blue flowers, landscape background with architectural feature.
Within painted mosaic border, set in rectangular papier-mâché frame
Burrell (1770 Prussia - after 1834 London) was a son of a Prussian military officer. After he moved with his family to London, Burrell studied and (between 1801-1807) exhibited at the Royal Academy. His early exhibited works were landscapes, but in 1807, he showed a miniature. From that point onwards, he made more miniatures. He often portrayed his sitter's seated in a three-quarter length pose as is the case here. The extreme attention to detail in the costume is one of Burrell's highest skills.
