Antique Child’s Portrait MiniatureExceptional, turn of the century antique miniature portrait of a toddler surrounded by spring flowers. The portrait was done on bone or wafer and is presented as found in its original, oversized brass locket with thick crystal. Condition is very good save for a small dent at the bottom of the case it looks like someone tried to open it unsuccessfully. The painting was very finely and sensitively done!
