1830's Silhouette Boy Blowing Bubbles w/Highlights

Antiques : Art : Silhouette

 

This silhouette is from around the 1830's.This is a great silhouette of a boy blowing bubbles. He is holding a cup in his hand and the other one has his bubble blower with a large bubble at the end. There is highlights on his hair hands, jacket, shoes and cup and bubble. There is a paper backing on the back that I do not want to take off. It looks like this paper has been there since 1904 as that paper is dated. The glass appears to be original as there are bubbles in the glass. The silhouette appears to be in great shape. Would be a great addition to any silhouette collection. The frame measures 6 1/2 x 5 inches.
