About the Item

18th Century Portrait Miniature - Style of William Wood (1768 -1809) , A young girl, bust length, with long curling brown hair and wearing a white dress, sky background. Watercolour. Oval 6.5cm. In a gold frame with a guilloche back. UK Ivory registration number: 6JZ28U1R William Wood (1768–1809) was an English portrait artist, renowned for his miniature paintings during the Georgian era. Born in Suffolk and baptized in Ipswich on August 21, 1768, he entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1785 at age sixteen. Wood specialized in watercolour on ivory, creating over 1,200 miniatures between 1790 and 1808, as detailed in his meticulous fee books preserved at the Victoria and Albert Museum. He worked primarily in London but also in Bristol (1791, 1803) and Gloucester (1798). A founder and president (1808–09) of the Associated Artists in Water Colours, he sought to elevate the status of miniature and watercolour portraiture. Wood also published An Essay on National and Sepulchral Monuments in 1808, reflecting his broader artistic interests. He died in London on November 15, 1809, and was buried at Bunhill Fields.
