1783 Ivory Miniatures Oval Blackheath George Engleheart
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite miniature portrait, we are transported back to the 18th century and introduced to Mrs. Peter De Lancey, Elizabeth Colden. Painted by the talented British artist George Engleheart in 1783, this ivory oval print measures a mere 1 3/8 x 1 1/8 inches (34 x 28 mm), yet it captures the grace and elegance of its subject with remarkable precision. Elizabeth Colden was a woman of distinction during her time, known for her beauty and intelligence. The delicately painted details on this miniature showcase her refined features - from her softly curled hair adorned with an elegant headdress to her captivating eyes that seem to hold countless stories within them. Engleheart's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the portrait, giving it a lifelike quality despite its diminutive size. The choice of an oval shape further enhances the sense of intimacy between viewer and subject. This artwork is part of Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, which houses a treasure trove of historical miniatures like this one. Each piece offers us a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistry involved but also gain insight into the lives and personalities of those depicted. Whether displayed as part of a collection or admired individually, this mesmerizing portrait serves as a testament to both Elizabeth Colden's enduring legacy and George Engleheart's exceptional talent in capturing beauty on such a small scale.
