Portrait Miniatures from the Merchistion Collection is the fifth in
a series of titles which examines the portrait miniature. This
collection, which has never been on public display, was assembled
on the London art market during the 1970s and 1980s. Scottish
miniaturists from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth
centuries are particularly well represented with fine works by
Scouler, Bogle, and Skirving and Sir William Charles Ross. Of
outstanding interest is Nicholas Hilliard's matching pair of tiny
lockets of Queen Elizabeth and her admirer Robert Dudley, Earl of
Leicester. Stephen Lloyd's essay discusses the formation of the
collection and the impact of the invention of photography on the
art of miniature painting. It also explores the social history of
the miniature. Twenty of the key works are illustrated in colour,
with extended captions, and a complete list of the collection is
also included.
