About the Item
A finely detailed silhouette of a Victorian young lady.
Attributed to Hinton Gibbs (1783-1839)
Portrait of a young lady, bust length, turned to the right
watercolour, reverse painted on glass
2½ x 2 inches, oval, excluding the frame
4½ x 3¾ inches with the frame
HINTON GIBBS (1783-1839) became a highly skilled exponent of painting profiles on the underside of convex glass - a particularly difficult technique to master. Working from the early 1800s into the mid-1820s, his extant profiles are relatively common. A very small number of portrait miniatures on ivory are also recorded.
With finely applied detail, the fashions of Gibbs' female sitters are meticulously observed and generally speaking, almost half-length. Conversely, male sitters are painted almost entirely black with hair developed with a needle while other detail is brush-painted. Occasionally colour is used to enhance the apparel of both sexes. Bustline terminations vary and profiles without terminations are recorded.
Ten trade labels are now recorded: all bar one are briefly worded, e.g. "H. Gibbs. Profilist". However, a recently sourced undated printed label, fortunately lengthy, details working methods and prices.
