Victorian 9ct Gold Hand-Painted Portrait Miniature Brooch – Circa 1880

An exquisite Victorian portrait miniature brooch, dating to circa 1880, beautifully set within an ornate 9ct gold frame featuring delicate engraved and decorative detailing.

The finely hand-painted miniature depicts a romantic young woman with flowing dark hair, resting her head gently upon her hand. Her elegant blue drapery contrasts beautifully with the rich purple background and warm terracotta tones, creating a charming and expressive composition.
