George I
Jean Cavalier
ca. 1680–90 · Ivory · European Sculpture and Decorative Arts
The attribution to Jean Cavalier was made by comparison with various of his ivory portrait roundels, a genre in which he specialized. Particularly telling are the light handling of hair and the scalloped edges of cloth. Cavalier worked in England for about a decade around 1680 and afterward in other European courts.
