Imitator of John Smart
Imitator of John Smart is an American Folk Art artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Imitator of John Smart is an attribution used for portrait miniatures executed in the manner of John Smart (1741 to 1811), the English miniaturist renowned for his precise, highly finished likenesses. The label indicates that a work follows Smart's style but is the product of an unidentified hand rather than the artist himself. Such pieces reflect the wide influence of Smart's technique on miniature painting in Britain and in India, where he worked for a decade, during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
