Circa 1840s: These charming and well done folk art miniatures portray sisters in stylish blue dresses, both of them posed in a fancy chair against a red curtain. The portraits are professionally mounted against acid free board and housed in modern period appropriate frames measuring 7 13/16" x 6 3/4" and 7 15/16" x 6 15/16". The older sister holds an open book in her gloved hand and is adorned with two necklaces and a gold brooch while her younger sibling poses with a small bouquet of yellow flowers and wears a coral necklace and long gold earrings, her hair and dress decorated with bows.
