Generous Oval Miniature On Ivory Of A Court Lady In A Large Feathered Hat, Framed, 18th Century

A rare and beautiful miniature portrait of a court lady with a wide ostrich-feathered hat, presented in a divine oval bronze frame with a star motif. Its exceptional size lends this work particular interest. This lovely portrait of a woman possesses a certain candor, and perhaps she is English? In any case, I suppose so... A detailed and beautiful painting on a thin ivory plaque in a lovely monochrome palette, and a delightful delicacy of touch, from the stippling of her bodice to the details of her gentle face seen from a three-quarter angle, which gives this portrait great nobility and a beautifully successful composition. I emphasize the unusual size and the beauty of the composition for a work that is well preserved and in perfect condition; undeniably a collector's item of great quality.
