For bid is an original circa 1830's of 1840's portrait of a BEAUTIFUL young lady wearing a blue dress and Victorian era jewelry! This is an extraordinary watercolor painting of a seated woman with a bowtie and gold jewelry. The painted portrait was but along the edges and mounted onto a cut board in an oval shape. Old wooden frame is painted gold. Frame measures 14 1/2 inches tall. This is a terrific, realistic portrait of a very pretty young lady wea...ring earrings, a brooch and a pocket watch (all painted in a color indicating they were gold). Very minimal to a lovely portrait. Unknown subject or artist. Local California estate find. Some imperfections from years of display. No glass to frame.
