Description

Here is a striking Edwardian miniature painting in watercolour on celluloid of a young girl in Elizabethan costume. Wearing a ruff and russet silken costume - perhaps as part of a theatre performance - her auburn hair shines richly against a petrel blue background.
Miniature portrait painting on celluloid really gained popularity during the Edwardian era, over the more expensive ivory as a surface on which to paint.
I think that this little painting has a really rich jewel-like quality, and I find the subject beautifully haunting as she gazes out and catches the viewer's eye.
This miniature painting, backed in its original purple velvet, is framed under a domed glass, and set into a reddish gold metal frame, held in place with small copper teeth ( some of which are now missing ), but the picture is very secure and the missing teeth are unseen when the picture is viewed. Please see the photographs to give you a good idea of how it displays.
The painting is 8cm in diameter, and is in good antique condition, with some wear to the reverse of the frame, as previously described.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if I can provide any further information.
I offer free postage to mainland UK, and am very happy to help with quotes for shipping overseas.
