No. 2806 Lover's Eye Painting on an Italian White & Giltwood Frame
A Lover's Eye oil painting on a vintage Florentine, Italian oval giltwood frame with a whitewashed border, measuring 7" by 5 1/2".
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 painted especially to complement the size, color, and style of its vintage or antique frame.
