A charming signed portrait miniature depicting a young woman with dark ringlets and an off-the-shoulder white dress accented with a delicate pink bow. The hand-painted portrait is mounted within a beautifully constructed bone surround with faux tortoiseshell trim and a decorative metal oval bezel.
The sitter's romantic styling and soft palette capture the elegance of the Victorian period, while the architectural arrangement of individually cut bone segments creates a striking presentation. A lovely addition to a gallery wall of antique portraits, a cabinet collection, or an English Country interior.
Signed lower right by the artist.
Good antique condition consistent with age and use, a small loss to the faux tortoiseshell border, and minor chips/ wear commensurate with age.
