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

A beautiful antique Victorian brooch dating to circa 1880, featuring a finely painted landscape miniature set within an elegant 9ct yellow gold oval frame.

In the foreground, two figures stroll along a country path surrounded by lush trees and greenery, while a charming cottage and distant lakeside buildings complete the picturesque scene.

The delicate brushwork, vibrant colours and remarkable attention to detail capture the romantic beauty of 19th-century European landscape painting.
