A contemporary copy of John Smart’s (1742-1811) celebrated 1792 portrait miniature of British Army officer Charles Cornwallis (1738-1805) will be offered at Chiswick Auctions in London on March 20.
The watercolour and ivory copy, estimated at £2000-3000, is likely to have been painted by the Irish artist Samuel Andrews (1767-1807), who knew Smart when the pair lived in India.
