Powell Macrae 1833

"Powell Macrae" is a miniature portrait painted in 1833 by Charles Fraser. Created in the style of portrait miniatures common in the 19th century, the artwork features a young man in a dark coat, likely a portrait of Powell Macrae himself. Fraser, known for his precise brushstrokes, captures the sitter’s features with meticulous detail in this intimate portrait. Currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the work showcases Fraser’s mastery in miniature painting.
