Description
James Monroe: Miniature on Ivory. Our fifth president, James Monroe, is artfully depicted on this miniature on ivory. It measures 2.5" x 3" and is framed to 5" x 6". It appears to be signed Faber. The quality is quite good and it likely dates to sometime in the 19th century, perhaps even contemporaneous with Monroe. The frame is very handsome and there is glass on both sides, revealing the paper backing of the portrait. There are three cracks in the area of the coat which are barely noticeable and do not impinge on the portrait. There also appears to be some restoration to the blue background at the very top of the painting. The glass on the front is early 19th century bubble glass.Auction Info
