Original Description
This exquisite portrait, A Gentleman, Wearing Blue Coat, White Waistcoat Trimmed With Gold, White Stock And Lace Cravat, His Powdered Wig Worn En Queue And Tied With A Grey Ribbon Bow, is a masterful example of 18th-century British miniature portraiture by Richard Crosse (1742–1810). Crosse, renowned for his delicate ivory miniatures, captures the elegance of the Georgian era with meticulous detail and refined sensibility. The sitter’s powdered wig, sumptuous blue coat, and gold-trimmed waistcoat exude aristocratic poise, while the soft flesh tones and subtle lace textures showcase Crosse’s mastery of watercolor on ivory. Though less celebrated than contemporaries like Cosway, Crosse’s works are prized for their understated sophistication and psychological depth, offering a window into the fashion and social mores of late-18th-century England. The painting’s intimate scale (typical of miniatures, often under 10 cm) belies its grand presence, making it a jewel of neoclassical portraiture.
For interior styling, this miniature would bring timeless refinement to a study or sitting room. Its blue-and-gold palette pairs beautifully with Georgian-style furniture—think mahogany writing desks or bergère chairs—while the ivory background harmonizes with neutral walls. Display it in a gilded frame to echo the waistcoat’s gold detailing, ideally under directed lighting to accentuate its luminosity. Given its small size, position it at eye level on a bookshelf or as part of a curated gallery wall with other 18th-century engravings. In a modern office, it could anchor a traditionalist aesthetic, counterbalancing sleek surfaces with historical gravitas. Avoid overcrowding; let it command attention as a singular statement of elegance.
