Handsome Miniature Portraits Of Two Sisters, Circa 1840

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Wigs on the Green

These fashion-conscious young ladies are known only as the daughters of ‘great grandfather Sutton’. Both sisters wear their hair in ringlets and are identically dressed in cornflower blue dresses with pleated bodices, wide-shouldered necklines and frothy Victoria sleeves tied with ribbon bows and trimmed with lace. The style of dress dates the portraits to the 1840s when dress fashions were being influenced by the youthful Queen Victoria.
