Original Description
This exquisite portrait by Jeremiah Meyer captures the refined elegance of 18th-century British portraiture at its peak. Painted circa 1765-1775, the work showcases Meyer's mastery in rendering luxurious textures and military regalia - from the vibrant red coat with gold epaulettes to the powdered wig tied en queue with a delicate bow. The sitter's composed demeanor and direct gaze convey both authority and classical restraint, hallmarks of Georgian-era official portraiture. Meyer, as Miniature Painter to Queen Charlotte and King George III, brought royal refinement to this military depiction, blending Rococo delicacy with emerging Neoclassical precision. The painting occupies an important position in British art history as it exemplifies the transition from ornate Baroque influences to cleaner aristocratic representations preceding the Romantic era. Particularly noteworthy is Meyer's meticulous attention to sartorial details, making this work invaluable for studying military uniforms and social hierarchies of the period.
For contemporary display, this portrait would create a striking focal point in a traditional study or executive office, ideally paired with rich wood paneling or deep green accent walls that complement its regal color scheme. The ideal hanging height places the subject's eyes at average viewing level (57-60 inches from floor to center). Consider framing it in an ornate gold leaf frame with subtle antiquing to honor its period while adding contrast against modern interiors. Its medium size (typical of Meyer's portraits at approximately 30x25 inches) works perfectly above a mantelpiece or as part of a salon-style gallery wall among other 18th-century works. The painting's military reds and blues would harmonize beautifully with leather furnishings and brass accessories, while the powdered wig's white tones balance darker furniture. For lighting, directional spotlights at 30-degree angles will accentuate the textures without glare, preserving the work's dignified atmosphere.
