France, Kingdom. A Miniature Portrait Of A Recipient Of The Order Of The Holy Spirit, C.1760

A finely-detailed, hand-painted miniature portrait depicting a French recipient of the Order of the Holy Spirit, set within an oval gilded brass frame with an intact glass face. The portrait is in turn inset within a wooden frame that is decorated with multi-piece mother of pearl tiles, and which features a copal border on the obverse bearing raised floral designs. The reverse retains an intact card stock liner bearing green clover designs, while the top edge of the frame is riveted with a magnetic metal suspension loop. The portrait is unmarked, and measures 8 cm (w) x 9 cm (h) inclusive of frame. Some chipping is visible to the frame tile, including the loss of one panel to the left edge. A superb miniature portrait in near extremely fine condition.
