Wax Medallion Of An Old Man (19th Century)
This early 19th-century miniature portrait shows the profile of a grizzled man wearing a wool frock coat and a ruffled white shirt. This style of dress was popular among wealthy circles in England during the Regency period (1811–1820). Wax portraits were a popular art form in England, particularly from the 18th century onward. This remarkable technique involved using beeswax to create lifelike sculptures. Famous artists such as Patience Lovell Wright, Catherine Andras, and Samuel Percy even created life-size wax profiles that were exhibited.
