19th-century Framed Silhouette Portrait (S02)

This 19th-century silhouette portrait painting is housed in a 5" W x 6" H wood frame and hails from John Derian's thoughtfully curated collection of vintage art. Before the widespread use of photography in the mid-1800s, silhouette portraiture, involving the painting or cutting of profiles, was a popular method for creating images of oneself or family members.
