Colonial America
18th Century Miniature "Folk" Portraits Pair
c. 1770s Colonial & Revolutionary War Era, Matched Pair of Primitive Style "Folk" Oval Hand-Painted Miniature Portraits, Fine.
This Pre-1800 rare Pair of really Naive and Primitive style, yet very well executed, "Folk" Hand-painted Miniature Portraits on white hard natural material. No frames. The woman's painted portrait measures about 2.25" x 3" and the man is 2.2" x 3". This matched Pair was obviously painted by the same artist. They are both slightly curled and have deep rich colors with slight wear and a few scattered nicks. They are very original, colorful and an excellent matched Colonial period pair that would look great in any display of the era. (2 miniatures).
