Description

17th Century Dutch Portrait MiniatureAn atmospheric 17th Century Dutch School miniature portrait. Expressive, skilled and characterful. To the front we see a busy sea of faces, the main character in historical dress of the period, holding a paintbrush. Perhaps this is a portrait of the artist or his master at work teaching a class? To the back, within an etching, we see a couple in a tavern, seated at a table with a wine pitcher and tankard as they pour over a document. The charming work

A wonderful and rare survivor from a long vanished Medieval town in the Upper Harz region of Germany

the Angel’s scale and quality suggest a work commissioned for an intimate devotional setting

and of course support some considerable weight
