No. 3252 Lover's Eye Painting in a Gold Arched Frame
A Lover's Eye oil painting in an arched gold frame, measuring 4.75" by 5.25" (stand back - no hardware for hanging, but it would be possible to loop wire or string around the stand back).
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.
