Unique and fun collection of 19th century miniature apothecary lighographed tins, clear and colored bottles, and chromolithographed boxes displayed in a 19th century canted shelf.
Early 19th century watercolor portrait presents a very attractive and fashionable young lady. She is set on a variegated blue background. Her face is delicate - narrow jaw-line, almond shaped eyes, feathered eyebrows, thin nose, and small mouth. Her clothing and hair, the most stylish fashions of the 1795 - 1820 time period, is luxuriously colored. The artist skillfully used shading and shadowing to illustrate the complexity and richness of her hairstyle and clothing.
