This small painting is a portrait, so lovely, beautifully hand painted with minute brushstrokes, housed protectively under a convex glass covering, and framed within an ebonized wooden frame. Remarkable portrait miniature on thin wafer, the painting is superb, with impressive fine details, this young woman's face is just gorgeous. Expressive eyes {a little mischevious!}, lovely dark brunette hair, she wears a gossamer fine dress, luxurious earrings, and a veil, perhaps she is a bride getting ready on her wedding day.
She is seated on a chair by the window, just outside, you can see a lovely climbing vine. The portrait is signed on the right side. A highly collectible addition to your antique paintings, and other French miniatures. The frame has a metal loop for hanging. The frame has aging and wear commensurate with age.
