George Chinnery (1774 – 1852)
"Meta Description": "George Chinnery (1774-1852) was een Brits kunstenaar die het leven in India en China vastlegde met indrukwekkende portretten en kleurrijke landschappen. Bekend om zijn stijlvolle Orientalistische werken en documentatie van koloniale tijden."
Chinnery painted more than a dozen self-portraits, the first of which he exhibited at the Royal Academy, London, in 1798; this is the most intimate and engaging of them all. An enigmatic figure, Chinnery was eccentric and volatile, with a tendency to hypochondria, a raconteur and wit with a gift for friendship. This likeness was painted in China and must date to the years 1825–28. Its first owner was the United States consul Benjamin Chew Wilcox, a businessman in the opium trade who commissioned a full-length portrait of himself from the artist (The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Ltd.).
