Lot 46

Description

After Walter Robertson,

Irish 1750-1801/02-

 

Portrait miniature of George Washington before the Battle of Trenton, after John Trumbull, bears signature and dated indistinctly 1795, in an early 19th century gilded composition frame with gilt metal sight further mounted in a brown plush mounted glazed mahogany shadow box, 15x11.5cm

 

Note: the original work by John Trumbull (1756-1843) dating from 1792, is held by the Yale University Art Gallery. Walter Robertson and his brother Charles were miniaturists from Dublin, Ireland. Walter moved with his friend Gilbert Stuart to America in 1793, and inspired by American politics painted several miniature versions of George Washington during his brief period there. He left America in 1796 for India, where he later died.
