Artist

John Miller

John Miller is a Rococo painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

John Miller painted watercolors in the late 1700s, often showing single figures in outdoor settings. In Portrait of a gentleman in a landscape (1785), a man stands stiffly against rolling hills, his clothes and pose telling us about the time without a word. The soft colors and careful detail feel more like a quiet snapshot than a stiff studio pose.

Want a closer look at that gentleman’s coat and the hills behind him? Tap into this portrait next.
