You are bidding on half of a pair of beautifully painted portraits on ivory panel in the original pieced ivory frame.  Please see our other auction to see the mate to this one.  This is the handsome portrait of a young man.  It is signed by the artist, but we were not able to figure out what it says.  We just got these from an old estate in Buffalo, N.Y. where they said they were from the 1800’s.  Very beautiful!  It measures about 5 ½” x 4 1/8” including the frame.  Excellent original condition with the exception of a couple tiny pieces of frame missing.  This is an easy fix!  Extremely well done!  NYS residents add 8.75% for sales tax.  U.S. buyer pays $10.00 shipping and insurance.  Please e-mail questions before bidding.
