Very Fine Miniature Portrait Circa 1785 with Hairwork

Antiques : Primitives : Antiques : Portrait Painting

 

This portrait is a real dandy! He looks like Thomas Paine. It measures 1 3/4 x 2 1/8 inches, not counting the hanger. The case seems to be gilt brass. There is a tiny scratch/crack on glass at 3 o'clock reverse.

The portrait is watercolor on organic material of a good-looking gentleman in his best suit. The reverse contains hairwork. Everything is in very fine order. I will let the photos do the talking. The white spot on reverse top is glare.

No money? No biggie! See my easy layaway plan.
