Sir William Hamilton by Josiah Wedgwood & Sons

This image shows a Jasper with blue dip and white relief and was made in 1780 to 1800 by Wedgwood and sons.
I wanted to include this image because I felt it was an extension to the idea of silhouette and how the simplicity and delicate cut of the paper shapes had been changed over the years to reflect wealth. It was said that the wealthier could afford to have their portraits in more expensive media like this Wedgwood because it was able to show their status with socity. I like this piece but it states the opposite to what a silhouette is defined as. The white relief shows detailing of the faces and can be seen as a progression to the Victorian works. This work doesn't have any obvious reference to my work other than the idea of silhouette.
