Museum Quality Mid-18th Century Antique French Portrait Miniature in Dore Bronze Frame Diamond facet damaging the portrait miniatureAn exceptional find, a circa 1750 70s French gentleman of the nobility, powdered wig with ponytail and wide black bow at nape of neck. Dignified portrait and the frame exceeds the quality of almost all portrait miniatures of the era. Begs for ID, though we have none, and the artist, so capable as to capture his unique features in a face just 5 8" from chin to hairline. Full measurements are noted on our photos. Very good to excellent condition for age
