Description: This one has everything! Very pretty little girl in her Sunday best, exquisitely painted set into a high carat gold and pearl frame. Interesting that she's wearing a blue bow in her hair - in the late 19th century or early 20th century when this was made, pink was considered a masculine, strong colour for boys whilst blue (associated with the virgin Mary) was seen as feminine. You'll often see 19th century portraits with the colours flipped compared to todays sensibilities!
