New! - Lover's Eye Painting on an English "Leeds" 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 an antique, English polychrome transferware Staffordshire plate by Mason's in the "Leeds" pattern, with castle vignettes, a botanical border, and deep gold-copper scalloped edging. 6"
