A charming mid-19th Century Cut Silhouette of 2 young women/girls and a dog. The puppy is sitting on its haunches at their feet, looking up as if asking for a treat. The girls, one sitting, the other standing, are in full dresses and one has a pony tail. Nice highlights in the girls’ dresses and hair. The silhouette measures 6 ¾” x 9” (sight) and the wonderful curly maple frame (which appears to be original) measures 10 ¾” x 13”. Fine to very fine condition with no tears, holes, etc. Some overall toning to the background paper. Not examined out of the frame. There is a partial word written in old hand on the remnants of the backing paper that may be a name (“La pou…”?). Silhouettes that include animals are always fun to find!
