George III (1738–1820), King of England (1760–1820) 1815 - 1825

This wax relief portrait of King George III of England, created by Catherine Andras between 1815 and 1825, is a striking example of the 19th-century portrait miniature. The work features a detailed profile of the King, rendered in a naturalistic style, and housed in a simple circular frame. The miniature was likely commissioned as a personal memento or keepsake, reflecting the popularity of such wax works in the early 19th century. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City currently houses this piece, allowing viewers to gain insight into the artistic techniques and historical figures of the time.
