Summary
Description AdamSmith.jpg | Profile of Adam Smith. The original depiction of Smith was created in 1787 by James Tassie in the form of an enamel paste medallion . Smith did not usually sit for his portrait, so a considerable number of engravings and busts of Smith were made not from observation but from the same enamel medallion produced by Tassie, an artist who could convince Smith to sit. |
Date | Original work in 1787. Etching produced in 1811, 1828 or 1872 |
