Description : Estimated to be created c.1830, a child with wings has a mischievous glint in her eye. She looks straight at the viewer, as her chin rests upon a set of soft angel wings. The child's curly blond hair is meticulously hand painted, and the porcelain disk is set in a hand crafted brooch/pendent of 18KY gold. This piece reminds us of the power of jewelry, and of a time just before photography, where illustration was the only way to see an accurate representation of a person, place or object. Bittersweet, this child has become someone's blue-eyed angel.
