Description

The striking miniature is painted with what looks like watercolour on paper and would I believe date to the early 1800s, circa 1820 and sits in what I think is its original simple ebonised wooden frame with gilt slip. In the head and shoulders portrait she sits in front of what looks like a blue wallpapered background. She wears a white turban and an extremely high collared top with evidence of a black shawl around her shoulders. Her tight golden curls escape from her turban framing her face and her dark eyes look intently at your with her mouth firmly set. For me there is almost an impressionistic feeling to the painting of this portrait, and I struggle to call its style naive. The portrait is neither signed or dated.

AGE - Circa 1820
*
CONDITION - Both the portrait and the frame are in good condition. I do think the colours of the painting have faded slightly with age indeed only one side of the blue background has detail upon it. There is also a little round mark on the front of her top which can best be seen in the fourth photo. The frame too is in good condition although obviously there are gentle signs of wear. The frame has a small ring from which to hang it from which looks like the original one. A new backing paper has been put on at some point although this does have some tears to it.
