CIRCLE OF HENRY BONE, R.A. (BRITISH, 1755-1834), AFTER SIR WILLIAM BEECHEY (BRITISH, 1753-1839)

The present miniature derives from a full-scale oil on canvas painting by Sir William Beechey in the British Royal Collection (RCIN 405422). A number of miniatures from the Beechey portrait were produced by artists such as Henry Bone R. A., William Grimaldi and Samuel Cotes, most of which depict the King in a black bicorn hat.
