Credit / Mention de source : Library and Archives Canada, C-123844 / Bibliothèque et Archives Canada, C-123844 Description / Descriptions : A typewritten inscription attached to this large porcelain miniature identifies the sitter as Miss Jessie White, a daughter of the journalist and politician, the Honourable Thomas White (1830-1888). Elected to the House of Commons under the Conservatives in 1878, he was appointed the Minister of the Interior in 1885 and was a valued member of the Macdonald government. He died in 1888 from penumonia and is remembered for his conscientious work in western Canada during the aftermath of the Northwest Rebellion. Dressed in her finery, the young woman wears a long dress with grey underskirt and coral overskirt with white front insert, with white ruffs at the wrists and neck. A flower in her hair, gloves, a bracelet on the left wrist and a fabric choker round her neck complete her outfit. She is posed in three-quarter length with her right arm raised above her head as if ready to take the next dance step. This miniature was painted by Hugo Meisel (1887-ca. 1920), an Austrian artist known to have worked on porcelain. / D’après une inscription dactylographiée jointe à cette miniature de porcelaine de grandes dimensions, il s’agit de Miss Jessie White, fille du journaliste et homme politique Thomas White (1830-1888). Élu à la Chambre des communes en 1878 sous la bannière des Conservateurs, il a été nommé ministre de l’Intérieur en 1885 et est devenu un membre apprécié du cabinet au sein du gouvernement de John Macdonald. Il est mort d’une pneumonie en 1888; son travail consciencieux dans l’Ouest du Canada après la rébellion du Nord-Ouest fut largement reconnu. Parée de ses plus beaux atours, Miss Jessie White porte une robe longue avec un jupon gris et une jupe de dessus de couleur corail , une pièce blanche à l’avant, des manchettes blanches aux poignets et une collerette blanche au cou. Une fleur dans les cheveux, des gants, un bracelet au poignet gauche et un collier de tissu complètent la tenue de la jeune femme. Elle est représentée de trois-quarts avec le bras droit au-dessus de la tête, comme si elle était prête à faire un pas de danse. Cette miniature est l’oeuvre de Hugo Meisel (1887-vers 1920), artiste autrichien qui travaillait sur la porcelaine. |
