Original Description
The portrait of Cornelius Hendrickson Kortright of Hylands House, Essex by Andrew Plimer (1763-1837) is a captivating example of late 18th-century English miniature portraiture. Executed with exquisite detail in watercolor on ivory—a hallmark of Plimer's refined technique—the work radiates Regency elegance through its delicate handling of light and the sitter's composed aristocratic demeanor. Kortright's fashionably disheveled hair and thoughtful gaze against a softly atmospheric background showcase Plimer's mastery in blending intimacy with grandeur. As a leading miniaturist who trained under Richard Cosway, Plimer created works prized for their psychological depth and technical brilliance, making this portrait both a personal testament and a significant artifact representing the golden age of British miniature painting (circa 1790-1810). The painting survives as a rare visual record of Essex's landed gentry, its 3-inch oval format typical of portable keepsakes exchanged among England's elite.
For contemporary display, this miniature would harmonize beautifully in a wood-paneled study or neoclassical-interior office, ideally placed within an original Georgian frame on a writing desk or mounted symmetrically with companion portraits. Its warm ivory undertones and muted blue background suggest pairing with Farrow & Ball's "Hague Blue" walls or soft gray upholstery to create tonal cohesion. Given its intimate scale (approximately 76×64 mm), position it at eye level within a curated cluster of small-format artworks or in a vitrine with period objets d'art to respect historical context. For collectors, replicating Hylands House's Regency aesthetic with giltwood furniture and botanical prints would honor the painting's heritage, while modern interiors might use it as a focal point atop stacked art books beside a bronze desk lamp—allowing Plimer's delicate brushwork to shine under directed lighting.
