No. 2980 Lover's Eye Painting in an Ornate Brown Frame
A Lover's Eye oil painting in an ornate brown resin frame with coquille ornaments, measuring 4.5" 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.
