Antique CDV Hand Colored Woman Purple Hair Bow Gold Earring Portrait

This striking antique CDV features a formal portrait of a woman captured in the late Victorian era. She is presented with delicate hand colored details that bring a lifelike quality to her expression, most notably the deep purple hair bow resting atop her styled coiffure.

The artist carefully highlighted her single gold earring, adding a touch of metallic brilliance to the sepia tones. Collectors of 1860s portraiture will appreciate the intentional artistry applied to this woman, showcasing the transition from monochrome to color.

A timeless study of period fashion and feminine elegance.
