One thought on “the Lost Ivory Miniature Of Rebecca Valverde Gomes (by Henry)”
Henry,
I am so charmed by your miniature and how you have used the color of the paper to get at the color of her face, much like how people would have used the ivory to create skin tones. She died when her son was only two, so I imagine this miniature being passed along to him, perhaps with a small lock of hair under the glass on the back.
best,
Laura
