We were struck by the interesting hair style on this fashionable lady, particularly the ringleted bangs hanging artfully on her forehead. Her face is also interesting; maybe a little uncomfortable at having to sit for her portrait, and yet there is a feeling of confidence as well. That, and just the hint of a double chin, makes us think this lady was a mid 19th century wife and woman of the household, possibly with a child or two.

This is a nicely painted portrait which appears to be unsigned. We are not willing to remove the back to check for a possible signature on the ivory disk itself. The curved glass is held in by a simply decorated metal rim. The frame is ebonized wood, which has crazed over the years – giving it an alligator skin look. The back is covered with a page of old text.

This is a small miniature; the frame measures 4.5” by just under 4”, while the portrait itself measures 2.5” by 1.75”.

This is a very nice, older miniature, well worth hanging in a collection or by itself.
