New! - Lover's Eye Painting on a Chinoiserie Plate with Butterflies & Birds

Lover's Eye miniature paintings were popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries (Georgian and Regency periods), and were frequently incorporated in rings and lockets. This is a larger, modern version in oil, on a vintage Chinese saucer in deep rust red, pale yellow, green, and black, with birds around the border and butterflies circling the inside. 5.5"
