Gorgeous 19th C. Miniature Oil Portrait of Great Beauty, Continental soldier drawings I understand from the seller(Photos shot through glass, trying to avoid glare she's better and sharper in person!) I've been look at a whole lot of miniature portraits of late, both American and European (which this is), and it's taking more and more to sell me but this one won me in one second flat. What a dark haired beauty she is, blushing cheeks, shoulders bared, and with a bit of a knowingness to her gaze despite her youth, which adds to her intrigue. Love. Oil on board,
