This adorable little miniature is painted in oil on cardboard. The young woman is delicately painted, with an elegant head carriage, her neck and shoulders emerging from a vaporous background. The artist has given her a serene, pensive expression of gentleness, her opulent hair rising to the crown of her head and held in place by a large blue bow. This small portrait is preserved in a silver frame that opens to the reverse, topped by a knot and edged with Rhine stones, with a ring on the back of the knot, and must originally have had a small foot to stand on. A diamond-shaped maker's mark appears on the back, but we were unable to decipher it.
A small stone is missing from the top.
Late 19th century.
Dimensions: height 7.2 cm, width 5 cm.
