This miniature by George Engleheart, painted ca. 1795, has the most elaborate and expensive frame I've ever seen. Yes, those are diamonds. The sitter is unidentified, but must have been quite somebody. #FashionHistory#ArtHistory#18thc

A miniature portrait of a young woman with powdered hair, wearing a white gown with a blue ribbon and a strand of pearls draped across it. There is a comb in her hair that matches the ribbon. It is set into a frame of diamonds , with a kind of bow at the top.
