No. 2409 Lover's Eye Painting in an Antique Oval Frame
A Lover's Eye oil painting encased in an antique oval gold metal frame with a stand back, measuring 2.5" by 3".
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.
