T Murrey pinx: J. Smith fc: & ex: [c.1690]
Mezzotint, platemark 325 x 235mm (12¾ x 8¾") small margins.
Portrait after Thomas Murray (1663-1735), a popular portrait painter whose sitters included Queen Ann. Engraved by John Smith (1652-1743), a first-class mezzotint engraver who made the mezzotint portrait a serious rival to the traditional engraved portrait (in which the French specialised). In the first half of the 18th century no serious print collection, whether in Britain or abroad, was without examples of Smith's work.
Ex: collection of the Late Hon. C. Lennox-Boyd; CS 282
[Ref: 40238]  £180.00
