ANTIQUE #SA1069939

Folkart Miniature Watercolour Portrait Of A Child With A Doll

£130    $169    €157
This delightful miniature portrait was painted in 1820 when the little girl, known only by her initials M.A.C., was just 2½ years old. With her blonde hair cropped, she wears a short-sleeved black dress with a high waistline, and a beaded necklace. Clutched tightly under her arm, her doll is elegantly attired in a long blue dress and a wide-brimmed hat.

Set in the original papier-mâché frame with an emblems (rose, thistle & shamrock) hanger, the portrait is painted on card but has faded somewhat, especially the facial features and the necklace. There is also differential colouring in the unpainted area around the top edge. Nonetheless, the portrait retains great charm and would make a sweet addition to a collection of folkart.
