A fine miniature portrait on natural wafer, done en grisaille in watercolor and ink against a blue background. The sitter, an older woman wearing a lace cap and fichu, is beautifully limned in profile, an uncommon approach. Housed in a gold plated metal frame with fabric on the reverse.
There are no condition problems with the painting, which measures 2 1/2" in diameter.
PROVENANCE: The well-known Dr. Leo Catzenstein Collection, and thence to his descendants.
