About the Item

This exquisite miniature portrait is attributed to Empress Josephine, capturing her regal presence with remarkable detail and sophistication. She is dressed in a sumptuous white gown adorned with fur trimming and delicate gold embroidery, radiates elegance and authority. Her diamond tiara, matching necklace, and ornate brooch underscore her noble status, while the voluminous coiffure, enhanced by soft feathers, adds to her aristocratic allure. Rendered in watercolor and gouache on organic material, this piece reflects the meticulous craftsmanship and refined artistry typical of high-society portraiture during the 19th century. The portrait is set in a spectacular gilded bronze ormolu frame, a masterpiece in its own right. The oval-shaped frame is intricately decorated with a laurel wreath motif, symbolizing victory, honor, and eternal glory, a fitting complement to the noble subject. Surrounding the portrait is a finely detailed raised border with repetitive foliate patterns, adding depth and texture to the design. Crowning the frame is an elaborate ribbon and quiver crest, symbolizing love and triumph, a motif often associated with neoclassical decorative art. The quiver is elegantly filled with arrows, while the ribbon flows gracefully, accompanied by intricately rendered floral accents. This elaborate crest showcases the extraordinary skill of the craftsman, marrying symbolic meaning with artistic beauty. The back of the frame is equally refined, crafted with precision to ensure the integrity of the artwork it houses. This combination of exquisite miniature painting and an extraordinary frame results in a piece that is not only a historical artifact but also a work of art, reflecting the grandeur and sophistication of its time. Measures: 5.625" w x 9" h x 3.5 d (resting), .5" d.
