Description: | This is a miniature copy in oil on canvas by William Nicolson (1781-1844) of an Old Master portrait of a woman. She is seen full length, at a three-quarter angle, wearing pink and red. She looks at the viewer, and holds a white piece of paper in her left hand. Nicholson made over 100 small sketches after Old Masters, which he collated in an album. According to his entry, the original painting was attributed by Van Dyck. However, the copy is too sketchy to identify the original and confirm this attribution. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Nicholson, William (British artist, 1781-1844) Æ Previously attributed to after Dyck, Anthony van (Flemish painter, 1599-1641, active in England) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8475... | Go to resource |
