Active in Venice and other European courts, he was sought after by the elite of the time to portray figures of prestige and prominence. His work is characterized by refined technique and meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the depiction of fabrics and accessories.<br \/>\r\nThe attribution of the present painting to Nazari is based on stylistic comparisons with a known portrait of Samuel Egerton (1711\u20131780), currently held by the National Trust at Tatton Park, Cheshire, UK. In this portrait, Egerton is depicted in an identical pose to the sitter in the present work, reinforcing the possibility of Nazari\u2019s authorship. The delicate execution and detailed rendering of embroidery and accessories further support this attribution, as they are hallmarks of the artist\u2019s style.<br \/>\r\nAs for the identification of the sitter, a label on the reverse suggests it to be \u201cThomas Cockburn, Lord Rutherford.\u201d However, this reference appears to be inaccurate. Based on the apparent age of the sitter and historical context, it is more likely that the portrait represents Thomas Cockburn (b. 1723), the son of Margaret Rutherford, who resided at Bowchester, Berwickshire, Scotland. The pose and attire emphasize the sitter\u2019s aristocratic status and sophistication, reflecting the style and taste of the period.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n"}],"tags":"Paintings","gallery":[{"image":{"ID":326665,"id":326665,"title":"146_761","filename":"761.jpg","filesize":17165793,"url":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/761.jpg","link":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/lot\/retrato-de-cavalheiro-identificado-como-thomas-cockburn-n-1723-477530400\/146_761\/","alt":"","author":"44","description":"","caption":"","name":"146_761","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":324371,"date":"2024-12-04 07:55:25","modified":"2024-12-04 07:55:27","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":4164,"height":5725,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/761-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/761.jpg","medium-width":218,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/761.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":1056,"large":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/761.jpg","large-width":745,"large-height":1024,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/761.jpg","1536x1536-width":1117,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/761.jpg","2048x2048-width":1490,"2048x2048-height":2048,"v_medium":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/761-640x880.jpg","v_medium-width":640,"v_medium-height":880,"gform-image-choice-sm":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/761.jpg","gform-image-choice-sm-width":218,"gform-image-choice-sm-height":300,"gform-image-choice-md":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/761.jpg","gform-image-choice-md-width":291,"gform-image-choice-md-height":400,"gform-image-choice-lg":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/761.jpg","gform-image-choice-lg-width":436,"gform-image-choice-lg-height":600}},"is_video":false,"video_source":"","video_id":"","use_video_thumbnail":true}],"auction_session":"2"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lot\/324372","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lot"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/lot"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/326665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=324372"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=324372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
