Portrait of Sir John Cox Bray
Opalotype portrait of Sir John Cox Bray in a formal pose. This work is of an unusual technique known as an 'opal type' and has similarities to types of art made of glass with newly developed surface textures, shaded colour, or casting, made in the United States from about 1870 and in Europe between about 1880-1900. Glass art has been described more generally as any ornamental glasswork made since the mid-19th century. These influences are evident in this work. This work can be defined as shaded glass, in muted tones. The portrait has been overpainted and has other details including evidence of hand colouring in white paint, of the Judges attire and facial details.
