A Lover's Eye oil painting in a vintage round wood frame with bubble glass )shown with and without the glass because of the reflection), measuring 4.75" by 4.75" (loop 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.
