Frederick Buck

Frederick Buck (1771–1840) was an Irish miniature portrait artist active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Born in Cork, Ireland, Buck is best known for his miniatures. His work was in high demand among the Anglo-Irish gentry and military officers stationed in Ireland. His miniatures are considered exemplary of the art form in Ireland, a tradition that flourished in the 18th and early 19th centuries, especially during the Romantic period's appreciation for fine portraiture.
