Small Antique Hardstone Cameo—female Profile In The Classical Style—late 18th Century, Early 19th Century

A charming little oval hardstone cameo, slightly curved, depicting a female profile turned to the right, in the neoclassical style.
The face, finely carved in relief from a light-colored material, stands out against a translucent gray-brown background. The abundant hair, held in place by a wreath of foliage, is particularly well-crafted, as are the folds of the garment.
A lovely small piece with pronounced relief and delicate carving.
