Original Description
Andrew Plimer's miniature portrait A Gentleman, In Brown Coat, White Frilled Shirt And Cravat, His Hair Powdered And En Queue (c. 1795) encapsulates the refined elegance of late 18th-century British portraiture. Rendered with exquisite detail on ivory, the work showcases Plimer’s mastery of delicate brushwork and luminous color, hallmarks of Regency-era miniatures. The powdered hair en queue (tied back) and crisp cravat reflect the sitter’s adherence to aristocratic fashion, while the warm brown coat and white shirt create a harmonious balance. Plimer, a pupil of Cosway, was celebrated for his ability to infuse intimacy into small-scale portraits—a technique that elevated miniatures from personal mementos to high art. This piece exemplifies the transition from Rococo frivolity to Neoclassical restraint, offering a glimpse into the social identity of the Georgian elite. At just 7–8 cm, its technical brilliance cements Plimer’s status among leading miniaturists like Engleheart and Smart.
For interiors, this portrait’s muted tones and historic charm suit traditional or study-like spaces. Frame it in a slender giltwood or ebonized frame to honor its Regency roots, and place it against deep navy or olive-green walls for contrast. Its compact size makes it ideal for a console table vignette, paired with brass candlesticks and leather-bound books, or as part of a salon-style gallery wall with botanical prints. In offices, position it near a Chesterfield sofa or walnut desk to underscore heritage; the brown coat’s warmth complements mahogany furnishings. Avoid overcrowding—let its intricate details command attention under focused lighting. A larger reproduction could anchor a hallway, but the original’s intimacy thrives in corners where viewers can lean in, bridging 18th-century finesse with modern sophistication.
