PORTRAIT hand painted portrait on ivory, lady with jewelry and long
curls in ormolu
style oval frame, 3" by 4-1/2". The detail of her hair and jewelry is
absolutely professional and magnificent, and she wears pearl necklace and
earrings and a garnet shoulder ornament. This is signed by the artist on the
inside back, but it has faded so that it is illegible. There is a fold out
stand on the back for display and a loop for hanging.
