Description

Here is a beautiful Edwardian miniature painting in watercolour on celluloid of a fine fashionable lady with curled hair and a feathered bonnet - her pale blue and white collared gown complimenting the pinks of the Ostrich feathers and the scarf she holds.

Miniature portrait painting on celluloid really gained popularity during the Edwardian era, over the more expensive ivory as a surface on which to paint.

This painting is extremely opulent and really gives a glimpse into the the life of an elegant Edwardian lady.

This miniature painting is framed under glass in an oval gold coloured frame and stands on a velvet easel style foot to the reverse of the picture, and a loop for hanging.

The painting is 10.5cm tall, and 8cm wide, and is in very good antique condition.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if I can provide any further information.

I offer free postage to mainland UK, and am very happy to help with quotes for shipping overseas.

FAQs

A portrait miniature is a small-scale painting, highly detailed in execution, which flourished from the sixteenth century through to the early twentieth century before the widespread adoption of photography.

Early miniatures were typically painted on vellum, card, or prepared metal supports, while later examples from the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries frequently utilised ivory, celluloid, or synthetic substitutes.

Authentic period pieces display hand-painted brushwork under magnification rather than dot-matrix printing or modern photographic grain, and often feature period-appropriate framing materials, backing boards, and historical seals or signatures.

Miniatures work effectively when grouped in small gallery arrangements on narrow wall spaces, or placed on mantelpieces and bookshelves to introduce historical depth and intimate focal points to a room.

These works should be displayed away from direct sunlight and damp environments to prevent fading of pigments, warping of the support material, and deterioration of the protective glazing.
