Sold by Findings

This is a larger than normal (9 1/4W X 12 1/4"H ) pair of full figured, painted silhouettes from the first to mid. 19th century. A husband and his wife. They each have been "bronzed" or added gilt to the subjects for finer definition. Well done, the artist succeeded in capturing the dress, hairstyles, formality and elegance of the day including backgrounds in paint. The gentleman portrait is signed Bannister (E M Bannister??), artist. Very good framed condition.
