Miniature portrait of Sir Everard Fawkener (abt. 1753-5), by Jean-Etienne Liotard

            Sir Everard Fawkener (1694-1758) was British Ambassador to Constantinople during Liotard's time there and played a key role in the artist's career. Fawkener not only helped the artist stay on in the city after Duncannon's departure, but also provided him with high-profile introductions on his arrival in London in 1753. This miniature, painted in London, is a testament to this friendship, capturing Sir Everard's twinkling eyes and lips on the verge of a smile.

Painted in Constantinople (Istanbul), about 1754. Enamel on copper.
