Georgian Silhouette Portrait
This is a charming Georgian silhouette portrait depicting a young boy and girl. Executed in profile, the figures are delicately cut from paper and mounted within a simple, yet elegant, frame. Silhouettes were a popular form of portraiture during the Georgian and Regency periods, offering an affordable way to capture likenesses and decorate homes. This example showcases the refined aesthetic of the era, with its focus on line and form.
