Gorgeous 19th C. Miniature Oil Portrait of Great Beauty, Continental blonde turned wood spoons 13" long x 2 3/8"

13" long x 2 3/8" t x 1/4" d and fairly heavy

but here this beautiful small footed bowl with coppery glaze I just stumbled upon in Maine

Each folds out in a series of layers

and to my eye a very good collection as I was tempted to buy many more

Gorgeous 19th C. Miniature Oil Portrait of Great Beauty, Continental blonde turned wood spoons 13" long x 2 3/8"(Photos shot through glass, trying to avoid glare she's better and sharper in person!) I've been look at a whole lot of miniature portraits of late, both American and European (which this is), and it's taking more and more to sell me but this one won me in one second flat. What a dark haired beauty she is, blushing cheeks, shoulders bared, and with a bit of a knowingness to her gaze despite her youth, which adds to her intrigue. Love. Oil on board,
