1830 American Portrait Miniature Young Girl In Memorial Extremely Rare

This wonderful painting measures 1.5x1.75 inches and is housed in the most interesting enamel metal case in dark blue with gold stars and ormolu, which measures 2x2.5 inches. The framing as well as the black background and the carrying of a bouquet by the sitter are allegorical symbols for one who is deceased. An absolutely extraordinary memorial portrait of a. Girl who was obviously very well loved.
