Black Hair and Diamond Patterned Dress, Striking Antique Tinytype of Woman and Young Child man on horseback Whoever made him was skilledThis one just really struck me. For the bold pattern on this woman's dress, but especially for her strong face, and expression, and that of her open mouthed child, with a slight blur of motion lending a softness to the child's face that makes for a stark contrast. Feels like this one holds a whole world. 3 3 4" x 2 3 4" and in good condition with some light surface scratches general wear.
