A finely executed late 18th to early 19th century miniature portrait of Mrs Jane Braddyll, after the renowned painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds.

This beautifully hand-painted watercolour is rendered on bone and set within an elegant oval gilt bezel.

The portrait captures the sitter in delicate pastel hues with powdered hair and a thoughtful expression, echoing Reynolds’ grand manner style.

Presented in a rectangular black lacquered frame, it is topped with a decorative cast thistle mount — a subtle nod to neoclassical and patriotic motifs popular in the Georgian and Regency periods.

This piece exemplifies the charm and artistry of miniature painting and would make a striking addition to any collection of portraiture or Georgian decorative arts.
