George Washington Hand-Painted Miniature Portrait Artist Signed by “K. Day” in its Original Decorative Period Frame
c. 1800-1820 Post-Revolutionary War, Federal Era, Oval Hand-Painted Miniature, George Washington Portrait, Artist Signed “K. Day,” English, Period Framed, Choice Extremely Fine.
This masterful original Hand-Painted Miniature measures 2.5" x 3.25" being housed in a 5.25” x 4.5” period octagonal frame with a fancy decorative scroll design border. Portrait is signed “K. Day” just left of Washington’s right shoulder. The reverse is blank having a paper as added backing, the name “G Washington” nicely handwritten in contemporary pencil with its original period heavy card insert present. Framed without glass with its original brass hanger at top. The Portrait is finely executed with impressive color and a high level of skill by the artist. We are informed by a collector that a different miniature by this same artist is also known to have been painted with the portrait of Alexander Hamilton. It is defect-free, having some very slight trivial wear from the frame edge at bottom left. An important example worthy of museum display.
