Hampton Denman 1811 - 1894

This miniature portrait, a small oval painting on ivory, depicts Hampton Denman, a young man dressed in formal attire, likely a portrait commissioned for personal use. Artist John Alexander McDougall, known for his work in miniature painting, captures Denman with a focus on detail and realistic representation. The artwork, created in the 19th century, embodies the classic style of miniature portraiture, which was popular for its intimate size and use as personal keepsakes.
