Description

The two miniature portraits are painted with watercolour on card. Why they are framed together has remained a mystery to me. Each portrait is finely painted but they are not signed or dated. I would imagine from the dress and hair styles and of course the sideburns of the gentlemen the portraits would date to the early Victorian period circa 1845. The portraits sit in a painted wooden frame with gold mount on the reverse of which is the framers Trade Label.
