"Miniature Portrait In Gouache On Ivory Of A Young Woman In The Capeline Epoque XIXth Century"
Presumed portrait of Lady Schorter as mentioned in brown ink on the back paper (difficult to decipher because it has been erased by time). Lovely round portrait of a busty young lady, probably under the frost because she protects her hands in a fur muff and her hair under a loose hood. Her shoulders are covered with a wide collar of pleated white lace. Her diaphanous complexion, very fashionable at the time, adds to the grace of her delicate face. See the meticulousness of the details in particular the hair which one could practically count one by one, the expression of the face, the delicacy of the colors however well contrasted; a work of the XIXth century finely executed. Sorry for the slight reflections due to the shooting. In its original dark wood frame and gilded chiseled brass strapping. It is signed on the right "Sylvaire". Under its slightly curved glass and original frame. Dimensions: Diameter of the miniature at sight: 6.3 cm Frame size: 12.5 cm x 12 cm and 1.5 cm thick Good condition. Slight marks of seniority; adhesive residue on the back and wear of the protective paper; the hooking ring has probably been replaced by twisted wire (see photo).
