No. 2212 Lover's Eye Painting in a Gold Laurel Wreath Frame

Sale price$255.00

A Lover's Eye oil painting in a gold composite oval frame with a laurel wreath foliate border topped by a ribbon, with a loop on the top for hanging, measuring 3.5" by 4.75".

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.
