She wears a broad green hat with feather detail, softly curled hair, and a light white gown, all rendered with the delicacy and refinement characteristic of late 18th-century portraiture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"532\" data-end=\"964\"\u003eThe miniature has a particularly appealing decorative quality. The sitter’s poised expression, graceful costume, and restrained colour palette give the piece a quiet charm, while the unusual green hat adds a touch of individuality and fashion interest. Works of this kind were prized for their intimacy and craftsmanship, and they continue to hold strong appeal today as both collectible objects and distinctive decorative antiques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"966\" data-end=\"1341\"\u003eDating from the late Georgian period, the portrait reflects the elegant taste of the era, when miniature likenesses were treasured as personal keepsakes and displayed in domestic interiors. This example is especially attractive in its black-finished rectangular frame with oval aperture, which suits the work well and gives it a strong wall presence despite its modest scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1343\" data-end=\"1663\"\u003eThere is visible localised surface lifting or bubbling to the right-hand side of the portrait, with a smaller related area near the upper edge. This appears to affect the upper painted or surface layer. The piece nevertheless presents well overall, retaining good colour, clear detail, and considerable decorative charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1665\" data-end=\"1808\"\u003eA pleasing and characterful antique, well suited to collectors of portrait miniatures, Georgian art, and period decorative objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1810\" data-end=\"2306\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1810\" data-end=\"1821\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1821\" data-end=\"1824\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1824\" data-end=\"1836\"\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Young lady in a green hat\u003cbr data-start=\"1862\" data-end=\"1865\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1865\" data-end=\"1876\"\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Portrait miniature, likely watercolour on ivory\u003cbr data-start=\"1924\" data-end=\"1927\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1927\" data-end=\"1938\"\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unknown\u003cbr data-start=\"1946\" data-end=\"1949\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1949\" data-end=\"1958\"\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e c.1785–1800\u003cbr data-start=\"1970\" data-end=\"1973\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1973\" data-end=\"1989\"\u003eFramed size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 × 11.5 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"2002\" data-end=\"2005\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2005\" data-end=\"2019\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good antique condition overall, with visible localised surface lifting \/ bubbling to the right-hand side and a smaller area near the upper edge, as described above.
