£255.00
Antique circa 1800 Georgian period Lovely Quality hand painted portrait miniature in Gouache featuring the image of an aging and rather gaunt looking Gentleman in traditional dress sporting white hair in the classic style, likely a Naval officer of the period the painting is in well preserved condition and mounted in later Victorian vulcanite squared frame with halo aperture finished with gilded bezel, the frame is intact to the reverse with back board and paper cladding along with provisional hinged lug so as to serve for when hanging from a wall, the paper cladding features original hand written ink legend which was likely preserved from the original framed piece as way of provenance but as with all old hand written script it is difficult to cypher.
