Title: Date Hunt silhouette portrait
Post by: Briannicus on Monday 22 November 21 09:36 GMT (UK)

Hello all,

Is it possible to date this silhouette portrait? I understand that there isn't much information but some people on here are very clever with these things. We are thinking George IV period but have no idea how accurate that is.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Brian

He's wearing a peruke aka periwig, these were popular up to the early 19th. C.
I would suggest late 18th.-early 19th. C.
