EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print captures the timeless beauty of Mary Wilkes, a woman who lived in 1753. Painted by the talented artist Nathaniel Hone, this enamel on copper artwork showcases Mary facing right, adorned in an elegant blue silk day-gown with a lace-bordered white underslip. Her upswept curled brown hair is embellished with pearls and she wears a drop pearl earring that adds to her allure. The background of the portrait features a rich red curtain, which enhances the regal ambiance surrounding Mary. The attention to detail is remarkable as seen through Hone's monogram signature and date NH 1753 at the lower left corner of the painting. On the counter-enamel, it is signed and dated M. Wilkes, St. Johns square Clerkenwell London. Presented in an oval shape within a silver-gilt frame with glazed reverse, this miniature artwork measures just 1.7/8 inches (48 mm) high but holds immense artistic value. Mary Wilkes' captivating gaze and graceful demeanor make her an epitome of Georgian elegance captured for eternity by Nathaniel Hone's skilled hand. This pendant-style portrait celebrates not only Mary's physical beauty but also serves as a testament to Hone's talent as an artist during that era.
