Condition Report:
The passage of time is evident in the wear on both the painting and the copper, as depicted in the accompanying images. There is a strong indication that the artist's signature was once present, but it has since been obscured due to the natural aging process.
Context:
During the early 19th century, religious subjects, notably the representation of Jesus Christ's face, held a prominent place in Western art. Such depictions were not merely acts of devotion but also reflected the socio-cultural and religious sentiments of the time. The choice of copper as a support was not uncommon in this era. Prized for its smooth surface and longevity, copper allowed artists to achieve fine details in their work. The use of warm tones in this piece is suggestive of the Romanticism movement, where emotion and individualism took precedence over the earlier Neoclassical traditions.
It should also be noted that paintings from this period often sought to capture the serene and compassionate nature of Christ, contrasting with some earlier depictions which might have emphasised his divine and majestic qualities.
A piece of significant historical and artistic merit, this painting will undoubtedly be a cherished acquisition for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

- 19th Century English School Portrait Miniature of Royal Sitter King George IVLocated in Braintree, GBAntique 19th century English school portrait miniature of Royal sitter king George IV ( 12 August 1762 – 26 June 1830) half-length, in red coat and wearing the Order of the Garter . Provenance: Descended property of Their Majesties King George V and Queen Mary, sold in one of the auctions in London, later bought from a private collector. King George IV (George Augustus Frederick) was the king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland as well as the ruler of Hanover. Born in mid-eighteenth century, he was the eldest son of King George III. At birth, George Augustus Frederick automatically became Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay due to his position as the eldest son of the monarch. Five days later, he was created Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester. Then on 18 September, he was baptized by the Archbishop of Canterbury. In his He led an extravagant lifestyle that contributed to the fashions of the Regency era. He was a patron of new forms of leisure, style and taste. He commissioned John Nash to build the Royal Pavilion in Brighton and remodel Buckingham Palace, and commissioned Jeffry Wyatville to rebuild Windsor Castle. George's charm and culture earned him the title "the first gentleman of England", but his dissolute way of life and poor relationships with his parents and his wife, Caroline of Brunswick, earned him the contempt of the people and dimmed the prestige of the monarchy. Despite presiding over the British Empire's emergence as a global hegemon, his rule was tarnished by scandal and financial extravagance. His ministers found his behaviour selfish, unreliable and irresponsible, and he was strongly influenced by favourites. Taxpayers were angry at his wasteful spending during the Napoleonic Wars. During most of George's regency and reign, Lord Liverpool controlled the government as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Liverpool's government presided over Britain's ultimate victory over Napoleon and negotiated a peace settlement with the French. After Liverpool's retirement, George IV was forced to accept Catholic emancipation despite opposing it. His only legitimate child, Princess Charlotte...Category
