Lot Essay

The sitter is identified on the reverse as Pryce Edwards of Talgarth Hall, only son of Lewis and Ann Edwards. According to the inscription Pryce died in 1809, aged 23. The apparent age of the sitter and date of execution suggests the identification may be erroneous and the portrait may in fact be of his father, Lewis (d. 1797). The miniature is also erroneously attributed to George Engleheart.
