Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Gertrude Antiques

This pair of Painted Portrait Miniature Silhouettes is in excellent condition.
 
Both painted portrait miniature silhouettes have had highlights added in silvery gold which provide dramatic emphasis to the hair and coat of the Husband, and to the hair, jewellery and bodice details of the Wife. We love the detailing of the Wife’s hair and her splendid jewellery. Regency artists showed their skill in displaying and highlighting such details.
 
The Husband has been identified as “Mr Yeo” as hand-written in pencil on the reverse of the miniature.
