Pair of late 18th century or Empire miniature paintings on ivory set into mid-19th century frames.

they show busts of Venus and Psyche, celebrating the most perfect beauty in antiquity.

These are trompe l'oeil miniatures, very fine work simulating cameos or biscuits on a blue background. Everything is flat but the virtuoso work of the miniaturist really gives the illusion of a 3D bust.

Beautiful set, charming item. Very good condition, no accident.

Miniatures diameter : 5.5cm
Square frames width : 10.8cm
