A nicely done miniature painting on ivory of a lovely young woman. The sitter in this portrait is wearing a pendant that appears, in my opinion and under high magnification, to be a miniature portrait. A miniature with a sitter wearing a miniature is quite rare, but please keep in mind that this is my interpretation. Whether or not the young woman is wearing a cased miniature, the painting is truly charming, and rendered with wonderful details. She has an elaborate hairdo, gold drop earrings, an ...click for details

A beautifully rendered watercolor and pencil portrait of a woman done by Jane Anthony Davis, more commonly known as J.A. Davis. The sitter, as was usual with Davis' portraits, is dressed in black, with color being reserved for decorative objects, such as books, flowers, or jewelry, as in this case. What is highly unusual is that Davis signed very few of her works, and on this piece, on the cardboard insert behind the painting, is written "Caroline Mathilda Brown Wife of Nicholas Brown&q ...click for details

A goodly sized and beautiful and finely executed tinsel, or foil painting, depicting a loose bouquet of various flowers and leaves. This technique, popular in the latter half of the 19th century in America, reverse paints the subject on the glass and highlights it with the foil behind. When interest in tinsel paintings resurged in the mid and later 20th century, the foil itself was often colored. This is one of the key ways to distinguish 19th and 20th century examples.
