3 Miniature Paintings, a Family Grouping circa 1800
Three exceptionally fine miniature paintings of a man, a woman, and a baby. They are in matching frames, and appear to date from about 1800. The man is in an almost military style coat and waistcoat, all in black, with a very high collar. It is possible that it is military, based on the waistcoat, but the coat has a civilian cut.He is painted in profile. He is a young man, possibly 30 years old, with large "Mutton chop" sideburns. The woman is in an Empire style dress, all in white with a white collar or fichu. She is painted in a view, looking at the artist. She is very attractive, and appears to be in her late twenties. The baby is a wonderfully detailed portrait. She is wearing a fancy bonnet, and a pink dress trimmed with blue. She is holding what appears to be a rattle or coral teething toy. On the reverse of this painting is a description in sepia ink and that the "Little Girl has a Philadelphia Rattle in her hand." All three paintings are framed in nearly identical black rectangular frames with bronze oak leaves at the top to hold a ring for hanging. The paintings are in oval openings with brass borders.
Size: the painting of the man in its frame is 5 1/2 by 5 inches. The woman is 4 1/2 by 4 inches. The baby is also 4 1/2 by 4 inches.
Provenance: Estate of General Joseph McNarney.
