| dc.description | Robert Fagan (1761-1816) Brought up in London and admitted to the Royal Academy in 1781. Established himself as a portraitist of fashionable grand tourists and a dealer in art and antiquities in Italy. (published note): In the present work, Emma Hamilton adopted a pose which may have been taken directly from the presentations of her 'attitudes'. From 1787, she had become increasingly well-known for such performances in which she posed as figures from Pompeii wall paintings, classical sculptures or from old masters. The vase she holds is a Trefoil Oinochoe, circa 410 B.C. likely to be one of the numerous in Sir William Hamilton's [her husband] collection, many of which are now in the British Museum. | en |
