George, III. King of Great Britain, &c. &c.
J. Ryland. Sculp. [after Jeremiah Meyer]
Fine & rare engraving. 175 x 105mm (6¾ x 4¼"). Thread margins, mounted in album paper.
A flattering profile portrait of George III as a youngish man, wearing embroidered coat, frilled cravat, sash and badge of the garter, and powdered wig tied with a large bow at the nape. Jeremiah Meyer (1735-89), a German-born portrait painter, was commissioned to paint the King's miniature portrait to be set in an oval of diamonds in the pearl bracelet given to Princess Charlotte as an engagement present. He also drew George's profile for the new coinage which earned him a gold medal from the Society of Arts in 1761. He was appointed Miniature Painter to the Queen and Enamel Painter to the King in 1764. He was also a founder member of the Royal Academy.
