The "James Macpherson with Party Hat" print is a witty portrait of a gentleman in a powdered wig, a rich velvet coat and a crumpled red paper crown. Painted in the grand tradition of formal portraiture, it pairs eighteenth-century dignity with a cracker-style party hat, and the contrast is delightfully absurd. The artwork is an altered version of Portrait of James Macpherson by George Romney, reimagined by Ink & Drop for Christmas.

Look closely and the detail is what makes it special. The sitter gazes out with heavy-lidded, faintly unimpressed eyes, as though he has sat through one too many festive celebrations. The soft, rolled curls of the wig, the frothy white lace cravat and the gold embroidery on the deep burgundy velvet are all rendered in warm, painterly tones against a dark, moody background. The torn red paper crown is the star of the piece, a bright, playful note that lifts the whole composition and gives it a deadpan sense of humour.

This is vintage portrait wall art for anyone who loves a little irreverence in their interiors. It suits a hallway, dining room, study or a gallery wall of mixed frames, and looks especially striking in dark, moody schemes. As a funny portrait print it makes a brilliant gift for history buffs, art lovers and anyone with a dry sense of humour. Choose a Gold Ornate frame for a framed Georgian portrait print with true stately presence, or a slim Black Wood frame for a more modern, understated look. Ordered framed, it arrives ready to hang and ready to give, making it a quirky gift for art lovers at Christmas, birthdays or housewarmings. Care is simple: keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight and dust gently with a dry, soft cloth. Ink & Drop prints are reviewed through Reviews.io.

Professional Framing Service

When you add a frame to your order we will frame our print, so it arrives ready to hang on arrival.

Our solid wooden picture frames are supplied with a perspex front, a backboard, and a hanging kit pre-installed. Perspex is very difficult to break, lightweight, and as clear as glass.Your print will be fitted perfectly within your frame edge to edge as pictured. For a more contemporary look we do not supply mounts with our frames.

Please allow around 10 working days for frame deliveries before enquiring about your order. We make each frame to order and frame your print for you professionally so they take a bit longer than unframed orders.
