Litteratur:
R. Walker, The Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Century Miniatures in the Collection of Her Majesty The Queen, Cambridge, 1992, p. 131. 3/1-22 German-born Meyer was to impact deeply on British miniature painting in the late-18th century, not least by introducing cross-hatching, which became the dominant technique, and is clearly visible in this unfinished portrait of the Prince of Wales, who later became King George IV.
