Beautiful antique European portrait miniature depicting an elegantly dressed young woman in 19th-century style attire, finely hand painted with delicate facial details and rich burgundy, white and blue coloring.
Sourced from an antique store in Paris, France.
The portrait is signed “ST.MA” at the lower left, a signature documented on other hand-painted portrait miniatures offered through European auction houses. Based on comparable ST.MA examples, this piece is likely late 19th to early 20th century.
Presented in an ornate gilt-finished wood frame with darkened patina and original-style hanging hardware. The exact painting support has not been identified; it appears to be a very thin, smooth material.
Good antique condition with expected age-related wear, patina, surface marks and wear to the frame. Please review photographs closely for condition.
