Portrait miniatures of George
George was a significant patron of portrait miniatures, many of them of himself, commissioned as gifts for friends and family. His favourite miniature painter was Richard Cosway, who produced over seventy such works for George, often showing him in fashionable dress or historical costume. While Cosway worked on a small scale, Henry Bone’s large-scale miniatures after oil paintings were equally favoured.
