Superb Antique Portrait Miniature, c.1750-70, Woman in Sealed Frame with Framer's Label playing cards The optician's name and addressAnother true "gem" portrait, these c. 1700s miniatures are all quite tiny. This one is a painting on wafer only 1 5 8" x 1 3 8" oval. It might well be the only image ever made of this charming woman, so stylish in her time. Unusual to have the sealed backside fully intact as in this one, and the framer's still attached in full. We do not have her Identity, but putting her in her era based on fashion and hair is simple, as she is c. 1750 70s Louis XV
