A scarce miniature droll, featuring a half-length portrait of a larger man with a tankard of beer overflowing with foam. He is depicted in an oval portrait frame, wearing an apron and cap, his two front teeth sticking out of his large grin. Carington Bowles (1724-1793) was one of the leading print publishers, printers, and sellers of the eighteenth century. He apprenticed with his father John Bowles and worked with him as John Bowles & Son from 1753 to 1762, after which he took over his uncle's business in St Paul's Churchyard, London. Condition: Trimmed within the plate. Spot of foxing to tankard, slight rubbing and creasing to printed area. Framed in an antique frame. |
