| In the Tudor Era, miniatures were private images, meant to be shared with intimate friends. They were often exchanged, and often worn on chains or hung from brooches. This miniature of Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII and mother of Queen Elizabeth I, is painted after a larger portrait. The miniature, painted in the traditional style using traditional materials arrives in a 2.5" diameter gold-metal round frame with a pendant loop. |
