Georgian portrait miniature of a nobleman, watercolour on ivory
REF
5132
wearing blue coat with elaborate silver frogging, a pink waistcoat trimmed with lace and a heart shaped cravat pin, holding a black tricorn hat under his left arm
Signed G. Spencer and dated on the obverse
It has not been possible to identify the sitter but the elaborate costume indicates a man of extreme wealth. Usually Spencer signs his miniatures and enamel portraits simply with the monogram GS, it is interesting to note the full name present here.
