Miss Fenton

John Faber is a Baroque artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

John Faber made small, finely detailed prints of people in the early 1700s. His engravings capture sitters like Miss Fenton in crisp lines and subtle shading. These portraits belong to the same era as Hogarth’s moral tales and Kneller’s grand heads—calm, orderly, and meant to be held in the hand. Tap into the 1728 print of Miss Fenton to see Faber’s clean craft up close.
