JEREMIAH MEYER R.A. (BRITISH 1735-1789) A fine portrait miniature of a dashing Officer, circa 1765/70, wearing scarlet coat with green facings, silver lace and epaulettes, his powdered hair worn en queue, painted Watercolour on ivory Gold frame with white enamel border within original purple enamel edge and further surrounded by border set with white enamel balls, The reverse with glazed central aperture to reveal blue silk surrounded by the same enamel border as the obverse Oval, 39 mm (1 3/4 in) high Exhibited: Comerford Collection at the Irish Architectural Archives, Dublin, 2009 Literature: The Comerford Collection: Portrait Miniatures, (privately published, Dublin, 2009) pp 7, 20, (#38) Although the cut of the officer's coat reflects the styles of the 1750s, the fact that he has one or two epaulettes indicates that this portrait miniature probably dates from the transitional period that fell between the end of the Seven Years' War and the implementation of the Royal Clothing Warrant of 1768. Several regiments of foot wore green facings with silver officiers' metal. These included the 5th, 24th, 45th 63rd, and 68th Foot. This dashing chap could have very well belonged to one of those corps.
