A wonderful early 19th century oil on canvas portrait of a young girl with crimped hair, a sweet expression, and a string of coral beads for good luck. She is wearing a white regency style dress with blue band trimming and ribbons on the shoulders. To her side is a theorem style basket of fruit, and behind her is a red curtain to one side as a background. She appears to be holding a piece of fruit in her hand. The picture is framed on a liner possibly for a larger frame. Really a lovely image.

Three fascinating unframed miniature paintings of scenes in India. I obtained these some time ago as I felt the images were quite unusual. The smallest miniature is a painting of a large Indian building, or palace .
The oval miniature has a scene showing a mosque framed with palm trees and thatched huts in the foreground.
The final oval miniature has a strange land mass, or mountain, with what appears to be a fort in the distance on the left. In the foreground is a low flat building with two ladies in European clothes walking across a flat area towards a horse pulling a covered coach. Colors are very nice, and the pieces I would image are Victorian, or possibly Georgian.

Condition: Small one is somewhat faded but still colorful. The one with the ladies has an edge chip, and a couple of areas of paint loss on the main building. Overall they quite good considering the age of these delicate pieces.

Size: Small- 1 X 7/8 inch. The other two- 1 3/4 X 1 3/8 inches, and 1 3/4 X 1 1/2 inches.
