EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the remarkable work of Samuel Percy, an esteemed artist from the 18th century. Titled "Portrait of William Cowdroy" this piece was created around 1810 using high relief stained waxes, resulting in a stunningly detailed sculpture-like image. The artwork is beautifully framed in an original gilt wood frame, adding to its overall elegance. William Cowdroy, the subject of this portrait, was a notable figure who founded the Manchester Gazette in 1795 and sadly passed away in 1814. This depiction captures him in a half-length pose, exuding confidence and regality. The intricate drapery adds depth and texture to the composition while highlighting Cowdroy's refined taste. The polychrome technique employed by Percy brings vibrant colors to life on Cowdroy's visage and attire. It is worth noting that although attributed to Samuel Percy, this particular artwork remains unsigned. Displayed at the Manchester Art Gallery in the United Kingdom, this print offers viewers a glimpse into history through artistry. Its masterful execution makes it not just a mere photograph but rather an exquisite representation of portraiture as sculpture. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every detail of this extraordinary artwork for Fine Art Finder enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate and enjoy for years to come.
