A miniature portrait depicting a young girl with parted brown hair in ringlets, pale complexion, and softly flushed cheeks. Set under flat glass within a velvet-lined leather case with gilt mat, the image exhibits remarkable precision in the rendering of skin tone, hair texture, and the subtle play of light, suggesting the work of a highly skilled American or British miniaturist. Miniatures of children from this era, particularly in such fine condition, are scarce. Dimensions: Sight - 3 x 2 1/2 in, Case - 4 3/4 x 4 in.
