Description: | The Scottish architect James Adam is shown holding the plan for one of his buildings. He was a friend of the artist, Allan Ramsay. Ramsay took great pains to make his portraits life-like. He always paid particular attention to the painting of hands, as he believed that they expressed character. The elegant pose, light colours, and the delicate painting of the lace in this picture are all typical of Allan Ramsay's painting style. His approach was partly the result of his training at the French Academy in Rome in the late 1730s. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art designers men people | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
