We note a fine watercolor on ivory of a young boy leaning on a desk and holding a book (figure 2). Note the large lace collar worn with a buttoned collar and small black stock. The burgundy suit has extensive button woirk repeated on the vest (waistcoat). This minaiture was reportedly attributed by Sotheby's, London to Jeremiah Steele, an English
artist working in the first third of the 19th century. It is undated, but was probably painted about 1820.
