A Delicate Round Box Made Of Light-colored Tortoiseshell, Adorned With A Miniature Depicting A Woman
A delicate round box or snuffbox made of blond tortoiseshell, with a lid adorned with a circular miniature—protected by a domed glass cover—depicting a woman wearing a hat and a black dress with a high collar, lost in thought, seated on a red chair (the medallion-shaped backrest is visible), resting her elbows on the seat and holding a letter in her hand, all set within a gold border.
The miniature is of high quality and great finesse, particularly in the rendering of the fabrics, skin tone, and facial expression.
Early 19th century.
Very fine condition. Note, however, a few minor cracks.
