An oval brooch, hand-painted and signed on a mother-of-pearl base, depicting a female portrait in the Neoclassical or Romantic style, possibly in the Fedoskino style. The mother-of-pearl surface provides iridescent reflections that enhance the painting. The figure shows a woman wearing a gold headdress and a period dress, rendered in great detail. The metal frame has a braided edge and a long pin clasp, with a dark patina typical of antiquity. This mid-20th-century piece of art jewelry is representative of the tradition of miniature portraits applied to jewelry.
