No. 2207 Lover's Eye Painting in a Rococo Heart Frame
A Lover's Eye oil painting in a vintage gold composite frame in the Rococo style in a heart shape with rose garlands, a ribbon, and torch, with a stand back and hardware for hanging, with the window measuring 1.25" by 1.75" and the frame measuring 3.35" by 4.5".
THE HISTORY: Lover's Eyes were a jewelry trend c.1785-1830 of brooches set with tiny watercolor portraits on ivory. Since they were cropped to eyes, they were in many ways more direct and intimate than traditional miniature portraits; but also because they were just eyes, they were often used as daring public testimonies of clandestine love affairs with mystery lovers.
THE FRAMES: Not only does each painting arrive framed and ready-to-hang, but it has been painting especially to complement the size, color, and style of its vintage or antique frame.
