An excellent and all original historical work of jewelry art. This mourning miniature was made for a Mrs. Ann Dashwood. The paintings is surrounded by blue guillouche enamel with a beaded edge surrounding. This navette shape and style is known for its popularity in the 1780’s. The back is so beautifully engraved, “Ann Dashwood ob 6 March 1782 Aet 29“. The scene is accented with gold and seed pearls.
