Mezzotint protrait of a woman in a truban. She is thought by some to be Eva Merthens (b. c. 1696), a Finnish woman who was the long time mistress of the Scottish aristocrat and miltary leader, James Franlin Edward Keith (1696-1758). However, the British National Portrait Gallery, which has this mezzotint in it's collection, lists her as an "unknown sitter."
Allan Ramsay was a Scottish painter and writer, who completed his training in Rome and Naples. He spent most of his career in London, where he was the leading British portrait painter from 1738 to about 1760. There he played a major role in establishing a national school and was appointed Painter to King George III in 1761. In the mid 1750's he developed a stle of informal, naturalistic portraiture and soft coloration, influenced by French painting, that in turn influenced and pursued writing. Britain's National Portrait Gallery has some 80 portrait paintings and prints after his paintings in their collection.James McArdell was a prolific and esteemed engraver, born in Dublin, who moved to London in 1746 with his master, the engraver John Brooks. By 1750, he had established himself as a mezzotint engraver, where he became the center of a circle of other Dublin engravers who had followed him there, including Richard Houston, Charles Spooner and Richard Purcell. McArdell produced some 200 mezzotints afer other artists, mainly portraits. These includ prints after Anthony van Dyck, Peter Lely, Joshua Reynolds, Allan Ramsay, Rembrant, Peter Paul Rubens, William Hogarth and others.
Condiotion: Generaly very good with the usual overall lighyt toning, wear, soft creases. Some protraits of outer edges slightly frayed, but margins very large.
