Description: | The Scottish architect James Adam (1732-1794) is shown holding the plan for one of his buildings in his hand. 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, believing 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. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1754 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Allan Ramsay | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
