Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Robert Dodsley NPG 1436

© National Portrait Gallery, London

attributed to Edward Alcock

Dodsley's friend, the poet William Shenstone, patronised the itinerant artist, Edward Alcock, and described his work: 'He finishes highly in miniature . . . he paints well in enamel.' The use of oil on tin as a support for this portrait is rare but not unique. More detailed information on this portrait is available in a National Portrait Gallery collection catalogue, John Kerslake's Early Georgian Portraits (1977, out of print).

Card size: 125mm x 175mm

Images are printed in their original proportions, within a white border.
