Self-Portrait
(18th and 19th Centuries )
As youths, Nathaniel and his brother Andrew (1763-1837) left home to travel with the gypsies. Eventually, he settled in London and studied with the enameler Henry Bone and the fashionable miniaturist Richard Cosway. Although he was never as successful an artist as his brother, he was admired for the realism of his works.
