Larger in scale than the petite portrait miniatures it evokes, this piece offers the romantic charm of antique European portraiture in an easy-to-place decorative format.

An endearing Rococo-style young lady in blue holding a cat is presented in a handsome gilt custom frame. The portrait has a romantic European feel and lovely decorative presence, with soft aqua-green background tones, delicate facial detailing, and an elegant 18th-century-inspired costume.

The painted metal plaque measures approximately 5" x 7" and is housed in a later professional frame, likely dating to the 1960s or 1970s. The overall effect is refined and highly displayable, making this a wonderful addition to Rococo, French country, traditional, Victorian, grandmillennial, or collected interiors.

A beautifully scaled piece for a bookshelf, mantel, bedroom, powder room, or layered gallery wall.
