A delicate portrait, likely from the 1900s, showing an austere woman with a high necked, Edwardian lace blouse with horseshoe charm. The artist has rendered the portrait in the style typical of Victorian and Edwardian miniatures, with minuscule brush strokes creating depth and form in the skin. On the reverse of the painting, inside the frame the artist has inscribed "Catherine Lewis (partially obscured)...rnwood, Kingston Road, Romford. A portrait of my sister."
The painting has been presented in a later brass oval frame with red velvet backing, brass hanger and domed glazing.
On bone-like structure.The condition is typical for a picture of this age including minor fading. There is some tarnishing to the brass frame.
