A charming and finely rendered 19th century miniature portrait of a young lady, hand-painted in watercolour on bone.

The sitter is portrayed with soft auburn curls, pale blue eyes, and a delicate complexion, dressed in a flowing white gown typical of the Regency or early Victorian era.

Her gentle expression and the artist’s subtle brushwork evoke a sense of grace and romantic elegance.

This portrait is mounted in its original oval gilt bezel and set against a black lacquered rectangular frame, surmounted by a detailed thistle mount—an emblem with strong Georgian and Scottish associations.

A superb decorative piece with historic appeal and craftsmanship.
