No. 2975 Lover's Eye Painting in a Black & Gold Square Frame
A Lover's Eye oil painting in a black and gold beveled square frame, measuring 5" by 5" (stand back and hardware for hanging).
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.
