Portrait medallions are an art for which developed during the reign of Henry VIII. These small, portable portraits were often invested with great symbolism or significance, both politically and personally – painted to be held and viewed closely, and to be presented as tokens of loyalty, friendship or love. This portrait miniature depicts Elizabeth "Bessy" Allen (1764-1846) who married Josiah Wedgwood II in December 1792.
