This miniature portrait captures the essence of Richard Bethell Cox, a man of stature and refinement. Painted by the renowned artist George Engleheart, this delicate watercolor on ivory print stands at a mere 3.5 cm in height, yet it exudes an undeniable presence. Richard Bethell Cox was no ordinary gentleman; he hailed from a prominent lineage as the son of Richard Cox, an esteemed army agent and banker. In 1776, he entered into matrimony with Jane Diana Drummond, daughter of the illustrious banker Henry Drummond. This exquisite painting immortalizes him in all his glory. Adorned in a resplendent blue velvet coat that perfectly complements his powdered hair, Mr. Cox emanates elegance and sophistication.

Every brushstroke seems to breathe life into this remarkable portrayal of masculinity. Now preserved within a private collection, this extraordinary artwork continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and masterful execution.
