LOT 57
George Engleheart - Oval Half Length Miniature Portrait of Harriet Reid née Gildart, late 18th/early 19th century watercolour on ivory, 6cm x 5cm, the reverse inset with woven hair, within a gold frame. Note: Harriet Reid was the wife of Andrew Reid (1751-1841) a brewer and vintner. The sitter is probably the 'Miss Gildart' recorded in Engleheart's ledger, having sat for the miniaturist in 1793. Her portrait by George Romney can be found in the Kimbell Art Museum, Texas, USA. References: George Charles Williamson, 'George Engleheart, 1750-1829, miniature painter to George III', (London, G. Bell & Sons, 1902) p.98.
