The painting is protected beneath a domed glazed surface and surrounded by an elegant decorative gold mount with a distinctive scalloped border, characteristic of Victorian craftsmanship.

A delightful example of 19th-century jewellery, combining fine miniature painting with traditional goldsmithing. An attractive collector’s piece that can be worn as a statement brooch.
