Wonderful naïve portrait miniature on ivory of a young girl with
beautiful green eyes that are echoed by the green background. The
artist's technique of curving the background drapery to fit the oval
dimensions of the portrait miniature is a delightful surprise. The
young girl wears an indoor cap, a low cut brocade or embroidered white
dress with a salmon colored sash. A
handwritten label on the verso says “Mifs Green (when a child) my
mother’s friend and companion. A very good woman”. The turned
wood frame appears to be original and measures 2 3/4" x 3 3/8".
Circa 1780. (#4267) Sale Pending |
