Provenance: Collection of Arthur Jaffé OBE (1880-1954), and thence by descent.
International lawyer Arthur Jaffé was an eminent scholar and collector of miniature paintings. He was an authority on John Smart, and spent many years researching the miniaturist, with the intention of writing a catalogue raisonné of the artist’s works. Although he died before the task could be completed, the body of work he had produced formed the basis of Daphne Foskett’s book, John Smart. The Man and his Miniatures, published in 1964.
French politician and orator Antoine Barnave (1761-1793) was a prominent and influential figure in the early part of the French Revolution. He favoured a constitutional monarchy, and wrote a series of letters to Marie Antoinette to that end. However, this clandestine correspondence led to his downfall; he was condemned for treason, put on trial and sent to the guillotine.

А вот с техникой рисунка я малость не поняла. Синяя бумага. Карандаш. А само-то изображение почему белое?
Техника знакомая, конечно, есть серия женских профилей, тоже в форме круглых медальонов, но - не понимаю.
