Portraits of a Gentleman and a Lady

American (Artist)
ca. 1835
watercolor on ivory, bronze frame
(18th and 19th Centuries )

This double portrait of a man and a woman can be dated to the late 1830s from the costume and hair styles. The woman is perhaps in mourning. The frame appears to be contemporary with the miniatures.
