1799 Engravings Countess And Earl Of Kinnoull Scotland By Caroline Watson
One of my antique shop finds today! Now, where do I hang them????
From the internet:
Original stipple engraving by Caroline Watson of Robert Auriol, Earl of Kinnoull 1799
Caroline Watson 1760 - 1814 She was engraver to Queen Charlotte, I thought it unusual to have a female engraver at that time. Image size 6.25inch x 7.75inch. Robert Auriol Hay- Drummond was a peer of Scotland and Lord Lyon King of Arms. This was completed from a miniature painting done by Sam Shelley.
Fabulous royal portraits
Newfld,
These go for a lot...I am really surprised, but they are great!
I hope their castle have these in their possession also, truly a gorgeous pair !~
PhilDMorris,
I hope so also. Thank you!
I love that these are by a woman, obviously an excellent engraver successful in a mans world.
Brava!
