Mr. Hagner 1822 - 1828

Daniel Dickinson's "Mr. Hagner" is a miniature portrait painted on ivory, dating from 1822-1828. The sitter, Mr. Hagner, is depicted in a formal portrait, his dark hair neatly styled, and his eyes fixed on the viewer. This work is a prime example of 19th-century portrait miniature painting, a genre that was popular during the era due to its portability and intimate scale. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this small yet detailed work, showcasing Dickinson's skill in capturing the sitter's likeness with great precision.
