No. 3247 Lover's Eye Painting in a Dark Baroque Frame
A Lover's Eye oil painting in a round Baroque frame with coquille details (resin to look like wood), 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.
