A.W.DEVIS (1763-1822): SILK MINIATURE PICTURE OF YOUNG BOY "MASTER SIMPSON" FROM ITALY

THIS CHARMING MINIATURE PRINTED ON SILK, IS SO WELL PRESERVED. THE FRAME NEEDS A LITTLE ATTENTION ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IT IS LOVELY. IF YOU SAW THE OTHER ONE I HAD ON AUCTION OF MARIE ANTOINETTE AND TWO OTHER LADIES OF NOTE (TRIPTYCH FRAME), IT IS OF THE SAME ERA, AND THEY WOULD GO TOGETHER WELL ON THE WALL.

MASTER SIMPSON IS DONE IN THE SAME WAY AS THE GAINSBOROUGH "MASTER NICHOLLS", OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE "PINK BOY" BECAUSE OF THE ARTIST'S FAMOUS "BLUE BOY".

BELOW IS A PICTURE I AM REFERRING TO:
