Miniature Portrait by Samuel Cotes 1734-1818

Description: Miniature Portrait by Samuel Cotes 1734-1818. A wonderful Georgian portrait miniature of a lady with amazing hair by Samuel Cotes, signed & dated 1779. The lady, facing right, in violet gown with turquoise shawl, large pearl earrings, her unpowdered hair piled high. The oval miniature is set in the original gilt pendant frame, signed on the obverse, lower right, SC/ 1779. Her remarkable hair was accomplished, over a period of several hours every morning by stretching the sitter's hair over a wire form, smoothed down with 18th century product (often bear grease) then fake curls pinned on top. Samuel Cotes (1734-1818), one of the most elegant artists of his time, exhibited at the Society of Artists 1760-1768 and the Royal Academy 1769-1789. Graham Reynolds noted that Cotes ‘invests his sitters with an air of sturdy self-confidence.” Taught by his elder brother, Frances Cotes, R.A., his sumptuous miniatures bear strong resemblance to his brother’s portraits. Samuel Cotes' exhibit in the first Royal Academy show in 1769 was a strong portrait of the celebrated actress Mrs. Yates as Electra, now in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum. F: 3.75" tall Unframed 3" tall
