A DIVISION ONE PAINTING UNDER GLASS BUTTON

1 Extra Large 19th century signed oval hand painted lady example. This beautiful example is a hand painted natural material under glass example in an 18th century setting which suggests it is a transitional early 19th century example, as the clothing and design are reminiscent of the Empire period (1800-1820) . Signed and in beautiful condition. A great transitional example. Copper rim and tin back typical to the late 18th century, but remember makers didn't throw away their materials just because they turned a century. From the collection of the late Jeff Lee of Ohio.
