An antique hand painted miniature portrait on a porcelain plaque depicting a young woman wearing a lovely pink gown. Beautiful hand painted in bright vivid colors, the artist captured every bit of detail using the tiniest of brushstrokes. Signed Bizet. The plaque is housed in an ornate gilt bronze frame adorned with a final of a French ribbon knot-bow and a border of Acanthus leaves trimmed with minute beading. At the back is a hinged metal easel for table top display and the frame is a slide-in type with a copper plaque at the very back is a copper plaque, engraved in fancy script with the name: Mrs. Martin B. Davis in reverse. Perhaps, this was once a gift to that individual or the name of the sitter? Marked in red on the back of the porcelain plaque with Dsse. de Reggio or similar and marked with impressed number 7-10. The portrait is in wonderful condition, colors are still sharp and bright, there is a slight roughness to the glaze at the corners of the plaque. The frame has some discoloration to the metal at the back from age. Porcelain plaque measures about 3 7/8" in length & 2 5/8" in width. Frame measures 5 3/8" in height & about 3 1/4" in width.
