Lover's Eye Painting on a Red Transferware Plate

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 Queen's transferware plate with a red and white design with a botanical / foliate grapevine inner border and basketweave outer border. 8"
