Sumptuous English woman dag great colors

This is the highest quality I have seen in terms of clarity and coloring. All the appropriate details are finely and sharply gilded. The shiny gray of the woman's dress is superbly rendered. The coloration of the padded chair is rich and wonderfully graded into the shadows. The flesh tones of her face and hands are delicate and well balanced with the other colors. This is in a larger case, probably English, with hinges at the top. The plate is embedded deeply within the plush burgundy velvet surround with gilded oval border. Because it is far from the glass surface, the scan can only approximate the actual richness of the plate. [4]
