    Pair of miniature paintings depicting a couple of musicians—he in hunting attire and she in country dress—in gilt bronze against a faux porphyry background, in giltwood frames. Early 19th century.

    A beautiful and refined object, typical of souvenirs from the Grand Tour, the aristocratic educational journey across Europe undertaken by young men of the highest classes of European society from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Ideal for complementing a 19th-century Neoclassical decor with one of those small details that create an authentic atmosphere.

    Highly decorative, as a pair.

    In very good condition, composed of early 19th-century elements, the set functions beautifully and naturally. Superb quality of the matte and burnished mercury gilding and chasing.

    Frames: 16.5cm x 14cm
