19th Century Framed Hand Colored Engraving by Armand Mathey (1854-1931)

Price: $490

19th Century Framed Hand Colored Engraving by Armand Mathey (1854-1931) is a superb example of 18th century portraiture reproduced in the 19th century via engravings and deftly hand-colored to bring out detail.  Affluent couples would have their portraits made as a legacy item, often depicted with a favored pet.  Notice the artist's particular skill at extremely fine detail in the closeup photos.  Survives in its original finely detailed frame and mat.
