An elegant oval miniature attributed to Robert Field (1769–1819), depicting a bust-length portrait of an admiral in his blue uniform, adorned with epaulettes and gold embroidery. The sitter is shown in three-quarter view against a delicately shaded blue background, highlighting the refined features of his face.
The composition highlights a miniature under glass representing a cherub dressed in antique style, accompanied by a dove, symbol of love and purity.
The finesse of the decor, combined with the softness of the subject, gives this piece a romantic character typical of the 19th century.
750 yellow gold cross set with twelve garnets.
Yellow gold pendant cross entirely paved with round and cushion-cut antique diamonds mounted in prong settings. The central diamond is the largest of the eleven. The whole is surrounded by a black enamel border.
This type of cross, known as a Badine, Badino, or butterfly cross, has a distinctive removable lower section, which literally refers to the word that defines it: badino, in Provençal, means free-moving or fluttering. The lower section has a beautifully openwork loop on which three rosettes are arranged.
