John Wesley
2006/10414
1800-1850 / John Wesley / Organic / Painting / Portrait / Watercolour
Gouache on ivory or bone
Unidentified artist, Probably early 1800s
This miniature shows John Wesley in old age, his features - in particular his nose - being very strong. Wesley is depicted in in front of books and with what is probably an open bible. It is possible that the pigment the artist used to paint Wesley's skin has faded somewhat, making the latter appear almost ghostly.
