This Victorian miniature portrait brooch with 14k yellow gold frame weighs 10.9g and measures 3.5cm wide and 4mm deep. This alluring miniature depicts the portrait of an attractive young woman in a Victorian décolleté attire, her long hair and décolletage accentuated with pink roses. Elaborately detailed and with a palette of enchanting pastel colors, this captivating portrait of enduring appeal displays 'the age of innocence' on the maiden's facial expression; her glance into the 'unknown', a mixture of sadness and nostalgia, which confirm the artistry devoted to this portrait, bearing the signature Rowland Hood. Miniature portraits were popular during the late 1800's and helped serve as a reassurance between distant, and at times secret, lovers. The portrait is mounted within a meticulously constructed frame of twisted rope design. This Victorian miniature brooch of unmatched delicacy and feminine grace is outfitted with the original pin and C-clasp and, in spite of considerable passage of time, is in pristine condition.
