Wonderful portrait miniature on ivory of an elderly lady, by well-known Scottish artist Patrick McMor(e)land (1741 - died after 1809). The droll old lady wears a black cloak over a white fichu and matching lace bonnet -- her expression is sly and quizzical! The portrait is signed on the obverse with the monogram PM and is set in a gold bracelet clasp; the slides are missing. Measures 1 5/8". Very good condition; there is a small area of retouch to her left shoulder.

This is a very interesting little painting on porcelain, painted entirely in tones of grey, of animals and musical instruments, primarily. The scene is certainly rife with symbolism, however what it may be escapes me entirely. Nevertheless, it is a fascinating and busy scene. The animals have wonderful and mysterious expressions on their faces, as do the monkeys in costume in the lower right section of the painting. The owl has a knowing expression, as one might guess, and the cat looking ont... Click for details
