British School, Early 20th Century, Portrait Miniature of a Young Lady in a Plated Ware Mount
Description
This early 20th-century portrait miniature is executed in watercolour with gouache highlights on a thin substrate, likely ivory or card. The subject is a young woman with blue eyes and wavy brown hair, depicted head-and-shoulders in a light blue dress against a pale, neutral background. The piece is rendered in a traditional representational style with fine, delicate brushwork characteristic of British portrait miniatures of the period. At the lower edge, there are small, dark characters that appear to be a signature, but they are too indistinct to read or transcribe accurately. The miniature is set within an oval plated ware mount featuring a small suspension loop and a protective convex glass cover. The item is identified as a plated ware miniature.
