A collection of two miniature artworks. The first is an oval landscape painting, executed in oil or gouache on a board or card support, depicting a rural scene featuring a cottage, a figure in traditional dress near a body of water, and stylized trees. This piece is housed within a carved and gilded oval wood frame. The reverse of the frame is finished with brown paper and bears handwritten ink notations reading 7, 2, /, 7 and R, alongside a small white label printed with io.
The second item is a circular monochrome photograph, likely a silver gelatin or albumen print, showing a bust-length portrait of a moustached gentleman in formal dress. The portrait is set into a circular black-finished frame with stepped moulding. The verso is covered in black material and includes a partially damaged easel-style support.
Landscape frame: 13.5cm x 11.5cm
Portrait frame: 10cm x 10cm.
