Unique profile portrait miniature of a scholar in regalia. Unlike any I’ve seen before. I believe the painting is likely late Georgian although the frame would be a couple decades later. They show the wear to the frame but they don’t do this unusual piece justice! I have more antique portrait items listed so please check out my other auctions!
