For sale is an amazing enamel painting on copper of Georgiana the Duchess of Devonshire (nee spencer) with her daughter Lady Georgiana Cavendish. They are depicted playing a game together. The piece is after the original oil painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds from 1786 which can be seen in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC. The piece would have been done soon after the original and since the subject is from the UK I would assume this was done in the Bilston area of the Staffordshire region in England whose makers are famous for their Battersea enamel pieces. It is the best quality piece I have ever come across and of a nice size as well. The painting shows the lady sitting in a chair dressed in a red dress with grey hair – likely a wig which was in fashion back then – with the child dressed in a white dress and a blue ribbon. The background includes an urn with some sort of ivy coming out of it, nice clouds, a wall and some sort of curtain possibly. The detail and the quality are amazing as you can see in the pictures. The painting comes in a frame though that is not original. Still nice and works well with it. The frame is 11 inches wide by 9.75 inches tall. The plaque part that shows is 5.75 inches by 4.75 inches. The frame is in good condition. The plaque is in great condition with two or three hard to spot lines, a restored spot on the top left as shows (in the curtain area which is not important) and a spot on the very right which is hidden by the frame. The very edge has a few minor nibbles also hidden by the frame. A superb piece and displays perfectly! Not signed nor marked but that is the norm.
