Cameo: Young Woman's Profile

Important oval cameo mounted as a brooch.
A young woman from the XVlllth century is depicted in profile in high relief.
Her face is of great finesse: her eyes are open, her small nose regular and her mouth seems to sketch a smile.
She is styled in a curly chignon adorned with pearls and wears earrings.
The pleated neckline of her dress nicely frames her face and a beaded accentuates her bosom.
Fine craftsmanship and expressiveness lend this cameo great presence and undeniable beauty.
Gilt metal mount.
H: 6.5cm
I: 4.8cm
Very good condition.
