No. 2984 Lover's Eye Painting in a Gold Round Frame with Bow
A Lover's Eye oil painting in a round gold frame with a bow at the top, measuring 4.25" 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.
