$675.00 

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

SOLD 

A folky miniature portrait on ivory, signed on the back: "Painted by M.B. Russell", and naming the sitter as Mrs. Rebecca Howe. The painting is also signed along the left side "M.B. Russell 1850". Although the sitter is of rather plain aspect, Russell has imbued the painting with a wonderful feeling of folkiness and naivete, possibly as a result of his wife's influence, or her actual participation in the work. It is quite unusual to have any miniature fully signed, dated ...click for details

$895.00 

A fine miniature portrait painting on ivory, strongly attributed to Samuel Broadbent. The sitter is reputedly Michael Butler, founder of the Union News Company. The attribution is based on the heavy coloring used in the sitter's face, the positioning in the painting of the sitter, the background technique, and the similarity to the example in the Manney collection.

The painting is in excellent condition, with no cra ...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 wonderful and rare southern folk art small watercolor on paper portrait of a gentleman, identified as Mr. Bunning on the reverse, along with the date of 1824. Examples of southern folk art are quite uncommon and highly sought after. This fine example was found in Florida, and the presence of a palm tree and water in the background, along with a classical style column, indicates that it was done, in fact, somewhere along the southeastern coast of the U.S ...click for details

A rare and unusual full body silhouette of a young girl holding a bird. The piece is watercolor painted on paper, which is the rarest of the three types of silhouettes.

This is a finely done miniature painting on ivory of a very attractive young woman. The artist has taken great pains with all the details. His depiction of her braided and sausage-curled hair, her earrings, necklace (every link was done individually), and pendant, the lacework, and even the stitching work on her dress, to say nothing of her facial features, bespeaks a talented hand.

The painting, which has a si ...click for details
