Original Description
The portrait A Gentleman, Wearing Deep Red Coat, Green Waistcoat, White Lace Cravat And Powdered Wig Worn En Queue by George Engleheart is a striking example of late 18th-century British miniature portraiture. Engleheart, a leading miniaturist of the Georgian era, captures the refined elegance of his subject with meticulous detail—the rich crimson of the coat, the vibrant green waistcoat, and the delicate white lace cravat contrast beautifully against the powdered wig tied en queue, a fashionable style of the period. Painted with watercolor on ivory, the work exemplifies Engleheart’s mastery of texture and luminosity, typical of Romantic-era portraiture. Miniatures like this were cherished as intimate tokens, often exchanged among aristocracy and affluent patrons. Engleheart’s oeuvre holds significance in art history for bridging the formal grandeur of grand portraiture with the personal delicacy of miniatures, making this piece both a historical document and a testament to Georgian aesthetics.
For interior decor, this portrait’s rich hues and refined composition make it ideal for traditional or eclectic spaces. Hang it in a wood-paneled study or a formal living room with Georgian-inspired furnishings—think Chesterfield sofas or gilded mirrors—to enhance its historic charm. The deep red and green palette pairs elegantly with jewel tones like navy or mustard, while the ivory background softens the contrast. Given its miniature scale (typically 2–3 inches), display it prominently in a gilt frame on a console table or within a curated gallery wall alongside other period artworks or botanical prints. In a modern office, it adds a sophisticated counterpoint to minimalist decor, serving as a conversation piece. Consider placing it under soft, directional lighting to highlight Engleheart’s intricate brushwork and the luminosity of the ivory medium.
