Nathaniel Plimer (1757 - 1822)

Nathaniel Plimer

Nathaniel Plimer was a British miniature painter and portraitist.

Like his brother Andrew Plimer, he studied first with his watchmaker father, but both ran away and traveled for over two years in Wales and the west of England with a troupe of gypsies before settling in London. Together they studied miniature painting under Richard Cosway (1742-1821). Nathaniel Plimer exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1787 to 1815, and his portraits were much appreciated by his contemporaries.
