A charming pair of early 19th century English School miniatures on ivory, set into gold and gilt metal studs . The first depicts a young girl wearing a white dress and bonnet, her sweet face looking straight ahead. The other stud features a hairwork memorial scene of two doves on a tomb or plinth, surrounded by a garnet border. One can only guess whether the two are related!
