An unusual and spectacular pair of portrait miniatures. Although both are signed by Moses B. Russell, it is almost certain, due to slight technique variances, that the portrait of the woman was done by Mrs. Moses B. Russell, nee Clarissa Peters.

The paintings are in excellent condition, with vibrant colors and no cracks, bowing, mold, retouch, ...
