19th c. Hand-Painted Catherine the Great Miniature Portrait – Bone Frame
This 19th-century hand-painted miniature portrait of Catherine the Great is an exceptional piece of historical art. Meticulously painted on natural animal product, the artwork showcases outstanding detail and craftsmanship, capturing the regal elegance of the empress.
The painting itself remains in excellent condition, with vibrant colors and fine brushwork that highlight the artist’s skill. The original bone frame shows signs of age, with yellowing, minor cracks, and general wear, all contributing to the piece’s historical charm. The paper backing is loose, but this does not detract from the overall integrity or beauty of the portrait.
