EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Major Peter Labilliere, a man of eccentricity and intrigue. Etched by Henry Kingsbury in 1780 using the techniques of etching and mezzotint, this artwork captures the essence of Labilliere's enigmatic personality. Labilliere, a close friend of the Duke of Devonshire, possessed an uncanny ability to accurately predict events. In fact, he foretold the exact date of his own demise. As per his unusual request, he was buried upside-down at Box Hill in Surrey after his death in 1800. Described as both a Christian Patriot and Citizen of the World, Labilliere served in the Marines during his lifetime. This portrait depicts him seated with an air of contemplation as he studies intently. His expression reflects wisdom and depth that can only be acquired through a life filled with unique experiences. The artist Joseph Wright masterfully captured Labilliere's essence through this exquisite piece. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke and shade, showcasing Wright's skillful craftsmanship. Displayed here is not just a portrait but also a glimpse into history—a testament to one man's extraordinary life and legacy. It serves as a reminder that even within conventional societies, there are those who challenge norms and leave behind stories that continue to captivate us centuries later. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent involved in its creation and Major Peter Labilliere himself—an individual whose unconventional nature continues
