Description

A fine silhouette reverse painted on glass by Charles Rosenberg of Bath. The silhouette is beautifully done with the sitter in profile dressed in high Regency fashion. The silhouette portrays Susannah Hyde Gale 1749-1823 the wife of Admiral Alan Gardner, first Lord Gardner 1742-1809. The work was created by the famous silhouette portraitist Charles Rosenberg of Bath, he was painter to the nobility and thought to be of Austrian origin having arrived in this country with the entourage of Queen Charlotte. Rosenberg eventually settled in Bath running a very successful business creating likenesses of the great and good who arrived in the city for the summer season. The silhouette is in excellent condition retaining the original mount and frame which just has the odd nibble around the edge. The reverse of the frame has information regarding the sitter as well as the original trade label of Rosenberg. The whole is an excellent example of a Regency period silhouette. C.1800.
Overall sizes in inches including frame: 8 ¼ by 9 ¼
