No. 2257 "Philomena" Portrait Brooch

Sale price$295.00

An oil portrait painting of Philomena wearing a mask and ready for intrigue, on a vintage brooch setting measuring 1.3" x 1.8". 

THE STORY: Inspired by literature, my portraits have novelistic titles that hint at the adventures of their heroines (and sometimes heroes). In this mini-collection of masked portraits, the directness of gaze suggests a willingness to share secrets, and the masks suggest balls, trysts, and clandestine escapades.
THE SETTINGS: This piece is part of the collection of antique and vintage settings which complement this historical jewelry tradition and each in a different way contribute a unique sense of character and old world charm.
