Prometheus Antiques has dated this Regency Child Silhouette to the Regency era.
The child is dressed in the most wonderful dress with full skirt and topped with a large sun hat. The detail of the silhouette has been picked out in gold paint. The work will have been done by a professional silhouette artist though it is not signed. The paper is in good condition with some minor browning. The bird’s eye maple frame is most likely the original and is in good condition with some minor nibbles around the edge. The whole is unusual being a child’s silhouette and has a great decorative impact. C.1830.
Overall sizes in inches including frame: 8 ½ by 10 ½
