A dark glass impression, set in a gold pendant. Portrait of Henry Fox signed Marchant.
19th century.
The character can be identified with the English politician Henry Fox, 1st Baron Holland (1705 – 1774) , due to his exact physiognomic resemblance. The character is facing right and has the bust depicted as for a sculpture. On the pitch, behind the neck: MARCHANT (Nathaniel Marchant RA (1739–1816) was one of the most important English gem engraver ). Very good condition.
Glass 21 x 27 mm; mounting 27,5 x 33 mm (max 45 mm); 11,71 gr.
