Presented in a period ebonized frame.
The painting, on natural wafer, is in excellent condition, with no issues. The apparent gaps at places along the top are due to lighting issues and darkness due to the bronze liner in the frame, and do not exist in person. Sight size of the miniature is 1 1/2" by 1 3/16", and the frame size is 3 3/8" by 2 5/8".
