Captain John Whitfield Rutter (1773-1825)
An oval miniature in watercolour on ivory in a gilt metal oval suspension frame, of which the glazed back holds a broad oval band of blue glass around a smaller gilt-edged lozenge holding a lock of dark brown hair against a pale blue glass or opal background. This is held in the form of a letter 'S' by a seed-pearl grip. A small seed-pearl anchor is enclosed in the upper curl of the lock and the letter 'R', also in seed pearls in the lower curl. A piece of detached thread in the back is there accidentally, not part of the design. The sitter is shown bust length, half-turned to his right but facing the viewer, against a partly hatched background of blue sky and grey/pink clouds. He wears a dark blue civilian coat with a black round collar, over a white waistcoat and white neckcloth. His shirt or the end of the neckcloth appears to have a lace front but no visible collar. His eyes are blue and his hair dark brown, cut short and with sideburns.
