{"product_id":"antique-miniature-portrait-lady-with-a-birdcage","title":"Antique miniature portrait — lady with a birdcage","description":"\u003cp\u003eA soft, pretty little portrait of a young woman with a bird on her finger. Her powdered hair is pinned up and scattered with small red and blue flowers, and a wide blue silk ribbon is tied at her throat. She wears a coral-orange gown with white lace at the neckline and a slate-blue wrap draped over her arm. Beside her sits an open wicker birdcage with a flowering vine trailing through the bars, and a small yellow bird perches on her raised hand. The whole thing has that dreamy, powdery softness that makes these old miniatures so appealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSigned in small script at the right edge. Set under convex glass in a pierced brass oval bezel, mounted on dark brown velvet, in a glossy burl wood frame with gilt scrollwork at each corner.
