Perez - portrait of a man

This miniature portrait is signed "Peres" for a Spanish artist who was active as a miniaturist in Madrid from 1795 -1815.

However, little is known about the artist.

In commenting about a miniature by Perez dated 1802, Schidlof comments; "This miniature is skilfully painted, the face is executed with great fineness and is very well drawn. The shadows are greenish-maroon and rather light. In spite of that, this portrait does not lack expression or relief. The clothes and the linen are painted in gouache, executed by numerous very fine brush strokes."

Also; "It is the work of an artist of quality, who would deserve to be better known."

The sitter in this miniature is unknown. 253
