Georgian carved wax silhouette portrait of Reynold's Lady. I understand that the subject posed for a Joshua Reynold's portrait. Does anyone have any idea regarding the portrait? I love how life-like the wax looks and I find it amazing that this has lasted all of these years.
shes very beautiful!!!
Thank you! I love it.
I think she needs a few "tucks"! LOL!
Agreed, but I still love her!
Amazing that it has survived this long. Must have been well protected from dust as you can't get that off of wax without destroying it.
Incredible find! I barely saw 4 wax subjects in a lifetime haunting antique mails and flea markets in France!
I really like it! I have not seen many either.
