Georgian Portrait Miniature Angelic Young Girl C.1780

This listing is for beautiful and sensitively painted Georgian Miniature Portrait of a young Girl possibly around 11 years of age and could even be a little younger, the Georgian artists often painted children as mini adults with young boys with a slight feminine look but I am confident that this is a girl. The young girl is wearing a simple white dress with lace around the square neckline with small blue ribbons on her shoulders. Her hair is cut short with a large natural curl on either side of her head and painted against a faded blue sky. The miniature is presented behind glass in an oblong gilt bezel set in a papier mache frame with gilt hanger and ring. With a sealed back held in place with four hand cut tiny caps. The size of the miniature is 77mm high x 60mm wide, the frame size is shown below.
