Original Description
Portraying refined elegance of late 18th-century English portraiture, Jeremiah Meyer's "A Gentleman Wearing Gold-figured Green Coat" captures aristocratic sophistication through exquisite sartorial details. The subject's auburn hair tied en queue, luminous green coat with intricate gold embroidery, and delicate white lace cravat epitomize Rococo-inspired fashion transitioning toward Neoclassical restraint. As miniature painter to Queen Charlotte and founding Royal Academician, Meyer perfected this enamel-like precision in watercolors on ivory - a technically demanding medium reflecting Enlightenment-era scientific curiosity about optical effects. The artwork represents significant evolution in British portraiture, bridging intimate Georgian miniatures with grand manner painting's psychological depth through its masterful rendering of textures from shimmering silk to powdered hair. Currently housed in London's Victoria and Albert Museum, this circa 1765 work demonstrates how portrait miniatures functioned as both personal jewelry and political status symbols during Britain's imperial ascendancy.
For contemporary interiors, this artwork would create striking focal points in wood-paneled libraries or executive offices when framed in giltwood with museum glass to enhance its jewel-toned palette. The painting's 3-inch diameter encourages intimate viewing from 3-5 feet distance, ideally displayed on custom easels atop Georgian-style desks or within curated wall groupings alongside botanical prints in Harmon Green No.22 matting. Its gold motifs pair splendidly with brass desk accessories and emerald velvet upholstery, while contemporary spaces might balance its formality with matte black frames and minimalist shelving. In hospitality settings, enlarged reproductions could anchor boutique hotel lobbies when combined with marble consoles and globe lanterns, with the gentleman's auburn hair subtly echoed through cognac leather furnishings. The color scheme naturally complements Farrow & Ball's "Verdigris" walls or Pierre Frey's "Grand Tour" silks for cohesive historical references.
