Lockhart, James (McKechnie Section 2)

Known from two profiles of men, signed and dated 1814, in the Grosvenor Museum, Chester. The illustrated profile is painted, probably in Indian ink, in dead black on a rectangular piece of card. The shape of the sitter's hair, and of his high standfall collar, is roughly indicated, and his eyelid and eyelash are well defined. The shirt-frill is painted with care, and was possibly outlined with a quill, but is proportionately rather small when compared with the whole length of the front of the profile. The work is signed very clearly with a pen (which itself leads one to suppose that the profile was painted in Indian ink).
