Original Description
Andrew Plimer's exquisite miniature portrait A Lady, Wearing White Dress, With Grey-blue Waistband epitomizes the refined elegance of late 18th-century British portraiture. The delicate ivory surface reveals a aristocratic woman captured in a moment of graceful repose - her powdered hair cascading in fashionable curls, the subtle grey-blue sash accentuating her neoclassical white gown. Painted circa 1790 during Plimer's mature period, this watercolor on ivory demonstrates his masterful technique in rendering translucent fabrics and luminous skin tones. As a leading miniaturist of the Regency era alongside Richard Cosway, Plimer's works were highly coveted by nobility for their exquisite detail and romantic sensibility. The subject's introspective pose - left arm gently cradling her waist - suggests the emerging Romantic ideals of sensitivity, while maintaining the decorum expected of formal portraiture. Today, such miniatures provide invaluable insight into Georgian fashion and aesthetics, with Plimer's pieces particularly prized for their silvery palette and psychological subtlety.
For contemporary display, this miniature would create an arresting focal point in a Regency-style study or a modern minimalist office when framed in period-appropriate oval giltwood. The cool grey-blue accents in the waistband suggest pairing with dove grey walls or slate blue furnishings in a subdued, sophisticated palette. At just 7-8cm tall (typical for ivory miniatures), it demands intimate viewing – ideally placed on a writing desk or displayed with proper museum lighting in a curated wall grouping of other small-format artworks. The neoclassical styling harmonizes beautifully with Georgian furniture or, for striking contrast, against sleek contemporary surfaces. In a living space, position it where natural light can illuminate the ivory's luminosity without direct sun exposure. The work's restrained elegance makes it particularly suited for private contemplation areas rather than high-traffic zones, allowing viewers to appreciate Plimer's virtuosic brushwork in quiet appreciation.
