Mr. Strong
(18th and 19th Centuries )
Bust-length three-quarter profile portrait of Mr. Strong, with brown hair, with one lock falling in center of forehead, wearing a black coat with velvet collar, upright pale yellow collar, white shirt and white stock. Woven hair on reverse.
This miniature has been attributed to Charles Fraser, a painter of miniatures, portraits in oils, and landscapes.

This miniature is not listed in his account book, nor being shown in the solo exhibition for Fraser held in 1857.
