Antique Silhouette Portrait of Lady, Dog Portrait

This artwork is a charming early 19th-century ink and watercolour silhouette in original rosewood frame. Silhouette is depicting a seated woman and a small white dog. The woman, shown in profile, wears a dark dress with a full skirt and a bonnet tied under her chin, typical attire of the Regency or early Victorian era. She sits upright on a simple side chair, hands resting neatly in her lap, her posture calm and composed. The little dog, rendered in soft white watercolour with delicate grey shading, stands at her feet, looking up attentively, adding a touch of warmth and personality to the otherwise reserved composition. Overall, the artwork captures a quiet domestic moment with elegance and restraint, characteristic of early 19th-century English or European silhouette portraiture. In used condition, silhouette is showing imperfections with standing. Frame showing wear and tear!
