## Biography

Handasyde received in 1765 a premium from the [Society of Arts](/source/Society_of_Arts) for an historic painting in enamel. In 1761 he exhibited two miniatures in enamel and two in water-colours at the [Incorporated Society of Artists](/source/Incorporated_Society_of_Artists), and in 1762 three miniatures in enamel and one in water-colours at the Free Society of Artists. In 1776, he exhibited a miniature in enamel at the [Royal Academy](/source/Royal_Academy). He mezzotinted two or three small portraits of himself. On the back of an impression of one of these in the print room at the [British Museum](/source/British_Museum) he is described as 'Mr. Handiside of Cambridge.'
