1840’s Renaissance Revival Portrait Brooch in 14k April 4th not only did women notAn outstanding 1840s hand painted marriage portrait of enamel on a jet disk. We herein are presented with a young bride, in the fashion of an early renaissance presented in the annunciation painting. In classic Italian manner, shes shown on the exterior of the building holding flowers. We can see in her bouquet that she has roses, forget me nots, and perhaps even a peony. The visual tradition of this special brooch owes a debt to The Cestello
