Fine Georgian Portrait Miniature of a Lady

Fine Art : Portrait Miniatures

 

A fine Georgian Portrait Miniature of a Lady wearing a white dress with pink belt and blue outer, her left hand holding something attached to a thin necklace, her elbow resting on a table; watercolor on ivory; apparently unsigned; set in modern ebonized frame; 12.7 x 10cm (5 x 4ins) sight (visible portrait size)

Her dress, while low cut at the neckline, which would perhaps suggest a date in the earliest part of the century, is yet belted low at the waist which might suggest later. Her hair, though, would be appropriate to about 1815.

CONDITION: Colours fresh and unfaded; the painted surface with no cracks or flakes; we have found an extremely faint line running diagonally down right to left, which we have examined out of the frame - the ivory is not laid to paper and it is clear that this is not a crack (and we guarantee this), but nor does it appear to be a scratch as the painted surface is unaffected. The frame is in good condition.
