ABRAHAM DANIEL (BRITISH 1750-1806) Portrait miniature of a Lady wearing a white dress with large frilled collar, blue waistband and pearl necklace, powdered hair  Watercolour on ivory Gold frame, the reverse glazed to reveal turquoise silk   Oval, 75mm (3in) high Exhibited: Comerford Collection at the Irish Architectural Archives, Dublin, 2009   Literature: The Comerford Collection: Portrait Miniatures, (privately published, Dublin, 2009); pp 10, 54 (#231) The three Daniel brothers, Abraham, Joseph and Phineas, were the sons of Nechaniah Daniel of Bridwater, Somerset. It has come to be accepted wisdom that all three were taught the art of miniature painting by their mother.  Phineas, the least heard of, worked mainly in Bristol, Abraham (1750-1806) worked mainly in Bath and is generally referred to when one talks of 'Daniel of Bath'. There appears to have been a keen rivalry between the brothers, all of whom referred to themselves as 'Mr. Daniel' (or Daniell).
