Juliane’s favourite pieces Peter Eduard Stroely: King George IV of Great Britain and Ireland, King of Hanover, as Prince of Wales, c. 1803 Inv. no. 10713 I find this portrait delightful because of the seeming contradiction between its external formality and its youthful bravado. Even though it is styled as the portrait of a ruler, it vividly expresses the character traits of the young British heir to the throne. The Prince of Wales most probably liked seeing himself portrayed in such a romantically daring and extravagant fashion . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #tanseyminiatures #tanseyminiaturesfoundation #portraitminiature #miniatureportrait #artcollector #portraiture #museum #art #museo #sammlungvonminiatur #18thcenturyportrait #19thcenturyportrait #fineart #castle #germany #celle
