Pair of Miniatures: Portrait of a Man and Portrait of a Woman Wearing a Miniature

Thomas Hazlehurst

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two oval-shaped portraits in gold frames. The portrait on the left is of a man with light-colored hair, blue eyes, and rosy cheeks. He wears a dark blue jacket with gold buttons, a white shirt, and a white cravat. The background of the portrait is blue and brown. The portrait on the right is of a woman with curly brown hair, blue eyes, and a white headband. She wears a white dress and a necklace with a pendant that appears to be a miniature portrait. The background of this portrait is also blue and brown. Both portraits have a small loop at the top of their frames. The background behind the portraits fades from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
