Tiny Antique French Portrait Miniature, Boy in Blue with Powdered Wig, c. 1750s English flow blue with his unique short-cropped crownOne of the tiniest portrait miniatures in my collections, this frame is just 2. 5" tall, and his face is only 1 4", yet look at the personality, those blue eyes and the perfect attention to detail of his clothing and hair.
