Two Small Portraits in Velvet Covered Frames, circa1850

Two small oval portraits, one of a boy, the other of a young man, both in velvet frames with gilt oval surrounds. The larger of the two depicts a boy of about 10 years in age, wearing a page-boy hair cut, and a somewhat Renaissance looking top. The frame is brown velvet, and has a bronze leaf shaped hanger at the top. The second portrait is of a dark haired young man, probably in his late teens or early twenties. He is wearing a grey frock coat, black waistcoat, and starched white shirt with a very high collar. He is smiling in the painting. The frame is maroon velvet with a gilt surround to the painting.

Size: the first painting and frame is 5 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches. The second painting is 4 1/2 by 3 1/4 inches.

Provenance: Estate of General Joseph McNarney.

Processing and shipping in the Continental United States is $30.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance.

Condition:

The velvet on the frames is slightly worn, but the paintings are excellent.
