Joseph Highmore, double portrait of Frances Pryce and her husband Edward Pryce (1752), at Dreweatts, Newbury, Berks. est. £15,000-25,000 #c18th #c18 #18thc
Half-length portrait of a lady and gentleman against a landscape background. Rococo gilt wood frame. She wears a white satin gown with a blue ribbon on the bodice and a blue silk mantle over her shoulders; she holds a garland of flowers. He wears a grey frock coat over a long yellow brocade waistcoat; his powdered hair almost matches the colour of his coat. They both look self-satisfied.

The brilliantly expressive William Blake was born OTD in 1757. A watercolor he created between 1816 and 1820 in the “Illustrations to John Milton – L`Allegro and Il Penseroso” series. 🖼️
Blake depicts the Sun as a figure riding a yellow orb with his arms outstretched. Below him are robed figures in a pastoral setting. #c18 #18thc #art #arthistory

Does an #18thc messianic cult in Eastern Europe/ the Levant count as a subculture? If so, my choice has to be Olga Tokarczuk's _The Books of Jacob_.
Cover of the US edition of The Books of Jacob by Olga Tokarczuk: in addition to the text, small glimpses of a black and white engraving of a starry sky and a meteor in flight.

Francesco Guardi, Grand Canal with the Rialto Bridge, Venice (c. 1780). Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington DC #art #painting #18thcentury #cityscape #Italy #bridge #buildings #boats #canal
Focal point of the painting, slightly to the right of centre, is the Rialto Bridge. People are everywhere; on the bridge, looking out of windows, walking the quays, or being rowed about in gondolas. On the left-hand side: market barges with canvas coverings.

Gold ring with silver, enamel, diamonds and ruby (possibly Italy, c1760), with Matthew Holder, London (£8,750) #c18th #c18 #18thc
The bezel is 'finely modelled with a black-and-white enamelled mask, the features animated by rose-cut diamond eyes and a small ruby set into the open mouth. The head is framed by a serrated gold collet and flanked by silver foliate clusters each set with a further rose-cut diamond. The shank is composed of high-carat gold, formed as asymmetrical rococo scrolls with pierced and chased detailing throughout. The enamel remains entirely original and unrestored. The reverse of the bezel is open, revealing white enamel engraved with faint traces of an original inscription. Though now largely worn, it would likely have borne a concealed love sentiment, comparable to the formula Je cache mes amours (“I mask my love”), found on related rings of mid-18th-century manufacture'

#Google blurbs RF Brissenden's 'Virtue in Distress'. 'Coco Crocodile is rehearsing her song & Billie the Pig has a dance to perfect & all in time for the evening show! But the Fox Clowns are in a muddle & Magician has made his assistant vanish, COMPLETELY!" Is that #Clarissa or Sade? #18thcentury
Image of a google search for RF Brissenden's scholarly book with a bizarre goodreads review as a result.
