$85.00

UP FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS THIS STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN IN A RED DRESS.THIS IS A HAND PAINTED MINIATURE PORTRAIT THAT APPEARS TO BE HAND PAINTED ON IVORY.I AM NOT AN AUTHORITY ON MINIATURE PAINTINGS SO I AM NOT POSITIVE THAT IT IS IVORY, BUT IT CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKE IT. I CAN SEE WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE FINE GRAIN OF IVORY WHEN LOOKING THROUGH A 10 X MAGNIFICATION JEWELERS LOUPE.
THE PAINTING IS SIMPLY EXQUISITE, FROM THE WISPY RIBBON OF VEIL TRAILING DOWN HER BACK AND OVER HER RIGHT SHOULDER TO HER GORGEOUS RED DRESS. HER HAIR DONE IN AN UPSWEPT FASHION AND HER LIPS PAINTED EVER SO LIGHTLY TO JUST GIVE THEM THE PROPER AMMOUNT OF COLOR THAT A YOUNG MAIDEN SHOULD HAVE. IT APPEARS TO BE DONE IN A MIXED MEDIA OF INK AND ENAMEL PAINTS.
THE FRAME IS STAMPED ON THE BACK WITH 800 WITHIN A RECTANGLE, SO I\'M ASSUMING THIS IS A EUROPEAN PIECE. THE FRAME HAS WHAT I THINK IS A BRASS ROPE DESIGN BETWEEN THE FRAME AND THE BACK. I DON\'T THINK ITS VERMEIL OR GOLD. THE FRAME HAS THE ORIGINAL SLIGHTLY CONVEX GLASS COVERING THE PAINTING. I DO-NOT SEE A SIGNATURE ON THE PAINTING UNLESS ITS UNDER THE FRAME AND I\'M TO CHICKEN TO TAKE IT APART. I WOULDN\'T WANT TO RUIN THE INTEGRITY OF THE PAINTING OR THE FRAME, SO THE BUYER WILL HAVE TO ASSUME THAT RISK.
