This miniature silhouette profile was cut with scissors in England around the 1840 period. The silhouette features a young lady in profile view. She can be seen wearing her best dress, notice how the artist has expertly brough out areas of tone and detail in her dress and hair. This process is known as ‘bronzing’. We love how the artist has painted the ringlets in her hair. The silhouette is housed behind old wavy glass in its original bird’s eye maple veneer frame with its original backing board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a delightful, all original silhouette that is ready for display.
