You are viewing an antique Georgian miniature painting: a landscape with figures on a lake. I would estimate it was painted at the end of the 18th century, around 1790. It is a watercolor painting on ivory or similar material and depicts a temple with a pagoda type boat with figures in it. The trees have been accented with wool or hair to give the painting a 3-dimensional quality. It has an ebonized wood frame and gilt copper lip frame as well as convex glass .&...nbsp; The painting measures approximately 2 1/2 by 3 inches. The frame measures approximately 4 7/8 by 5 1/2 inches. The miniature painting is cracked in three pieces. The wood frame has wear and nicks throughout. Please see photos and feel free to ask any questions.
