New! - Lover's Eye Painting on an English Botanical 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 English Aynsley saucer with a robin's egg blue border and floral sprigs, with a light scalloped border and gold gilt edging. 5.5"
