About the Item

18th Century Portrait Miniature Attributed to Christian Friedrich Zincke (1683 - 1767) A young girl, possibly a relative to Charlote Tilson, Lady Deane (b 1918), half length, her hair dressed high and adorned with pearls and wearing a pink dress with lace edging, landscape background. Painted on enamel, oval shape, 4.5cm in height. In a gold frame with guilloche border, the reverse with gilt initials [A T] and with a hair plait border, about 1731 . Christian Friedrich Zincke (c.1683–1767), a German-born artist renowned for his enamel portrait miniatures, primarily worked in England after settling there around 1706. Zincke was born in Dresden, Germany, where he trained under his goldsmith father and studied painting with Heinrich Christoph Fehling. In 1706, he moved to England at the invitation of Swedish enameller Charles Boit to work on a large enamel project. After Boit left for France in 1714, Zincke remained in London, building a successful career as a miniaturist with royal patronage, including appointments to George II and Frederick, Prince of Wales. His work, primarily enamel portraits on copper, was highly sought after in Britain, particularly from the 1720s to the 1740s, until his eyesight began to fail
