Circa 1800. Miniature Of A Young Boy With A Bird
A charming miniature portrait painted around 1800 in gouache on vellum, depicting a young boy holding a black bird in his hand—perhaps a young blackbird.
Still very much in the 18th-century style and executed with remarkable finesse, the portrait is signed in the white margin, but the ink has faded over time, rendering the short text illegible.
The colors have held up well, and the miniature is in perfect condition.
Originally framed in a solid light mahogany frame with a brass border around the glass, the piece is in very fine condition.
On the back, a piece of cardboard that had become very brittle over time was glued on later; I removed it, which explains the traces of glue.
