John Bogle (British, c.1746-1803) A portrait miniature of a Gentleman, wearing a white cravat and black jacket, his right arm tucked inside his jacket and his left arm resting on a column, holding a book signed and dated to the left 'JB / 1799' watercolour on ivory with later gold-plated frame with blue glass reverse 7½cm (3in) The Scottish-born artist John Bogle was admired for his evocation of personality in his astonishingly detailed portrait miniatures. He was a member of the aristocracy, but never made any claim to his title, the Earl of Menteith. When he moved from Edinburgh to London in 1770, he met some of the most interesting characters in Georgian England, even accompanying Fanny Burney to witness the trial of Warren Hastings. In 1800, the year after the present work was painted, Bogle moved to Edinburgh where he remained until his death in 1803. The incorporation of architectural features in English portraiture was pioneered by Sir Joshua Reynolds from around 1760 onwards, and was used as a visual metaphor for the noble status of sitters. Small spots of foxing to the background with a little discolouration, and two very small spots of foxing to the sitter's face and hair, with one larger spot to his left cheek.

The miniature is thus of Captain Watkin Griffith, 27th Light Dragoons, c.1795 0 1800.
