Miniature Portrait On Ivory By Frances Russell Of Maison Dieu Dover Young English Woman

English school from the mid-19th century. Oval portrait of a young woman with a pretty face in a bodice, collar and cap of fine lace. In a relaxed pose, she sits on a lapis blue sofa, one hand behind her head. Curly brown hair frames her delicate face. She is identified on the back side on the background paper as "Frances, Daughter of Thomas Russell of Maison Dieu - Dover ...." written in ink, possibly the ancestor of the famous mathematician and philosopher Bertrand Russell . In a lovely gilded wood frame of an unusual model that can be reused if necessary. Finely executed work. Dimensions: At sight: 6, 3 cm x 5, 3 cm Frame: 20, 5 cm x 19, 5 cm Having decided not to touch it so that its charm continues to operate, I present it to you as it is discovery with its flaws of the time: A slight slit to the left of the miniature, its background paper partially glued with an adhesive. Many other objects to discover in my stand at the antique fairs in which I participate. Follow my gallery to be informed of news and to know the dates of the next Trade Shows ...
