Young Woman with Flowers and (Lost Mat) Halo, Antique Full Plate Hand-painted Tintype orange and green and quickly sold

and quickly sold

was the illusionistic turned corner at the top left corner and pin at lower left a later addition

and I honestly don't think detracts

with orange spots against black and red inside the mouth

Young Woman with Flowers and (Lost Mat) Halo, Antique Full Plate Hand-painted Tintype orange and green and quickly soldI love how steadfast and determined this young woman looks; something of a young Joan of Arc about her, and with a halo (the product of an old oval shaped mat, long since removed) imparting her with sainthood. With dark gray painted ground, gold brooch and button and chain her neck, and dressed on what I would presume is mourning attire, with sprig of flowers on her lapel. 8 1 2" x 6 1 8". Loss of paint to the ground as evident, from overlaying mat
