Antique Folk Art Portrait Miniature Lady Black Dress RARE Pressed Frame American School, 1840
Item Description
We adore this rare little all original watercolor. This stunning little watercolor portrait was painted in the 19th century, circa 1840. Although currently living here in England, we do feel that this portrait and unusual frame may be of American origin?
The portrait depicts a young Victorian lady in profile view. We particularly like the way in which the artist has painted the sitter’s curls and earrings. What makes this painting particularly desirable is the highly unusual, all original, pressed brass frame. The painting is on paper or card and is housed behind its original lovely old glass in its original frame.
This is a fabulous all original painting, the perfect country house artwork.
Measuring: Frame width 5 inch (12.5 cm) by height 5.75 inch (15 cm). Aperture width 7 cm by height 3.5 inch (9 cm).
Condition: Minor paint flaking to her black dress at the bottom, clearly seen on the images. Light age debris under glass. Beautiful aging to the metal frame.
