Sul dipinto
The word ‘miniature’ describes a technique of painting in watercolour rather than the size of a painting. Miniature painting developed as a separate art in the 16th century and in Britain it became predominantly a portrait art.
This miniature is one of a group of five portraits of members of the North family attributed to Edmund Ashfield (worked 1669–90) by John Murdoch in Seventeenth-century English Miniatures in the Collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum (1997). The attribution to Ashfield is based on the signature ‘E. A.’ found lower centre right on one of the miniature of ‘Charles North, 5th Baron North de Kirtling’. Edmunch Ashfield was a painter in oil and ‘crayon’ (what is today called pastel), but it was long thought that he had also painted miniatures. This group apparently supports this idea.
