Description

Daphne Foskett’s 1964 study provides an authoritative account of John Smart, one of the eighteenth century’s most technically accomplished portrait miniaturists. Foskett explores Smart’s meticulous precision, his unique color palette, and his significant years working in India. By combining a detailed biographical narrative with an extensive catalogue of his work, she illustrates his rise within the Royal Academy. This volume remains an essential reference for collectors and historians of British neo-classical art.
