No. 3284 Lover's Eye Painting in a Black and Gold Round Neoclassical Frame
A Lover's Eye oil painting in a round black and gold frame with neoclassical branches and a laurel wreath, measuring 4" by 4" (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.
