Three portrait miniatures, "Peggy Neale" 1797 and two others, each with ebonised frame and acorn hanger. CONDITION REPORT: Lady in red dress with blue shawl - we have not removed the miniature from the frame as it is sealed at the back with brown paper. We have looked at the image under a x10 loupe.

This is not visible to the naked eye. The paint condition seems generally very good. There is a small possible loss to the top right hand drape over the pillar and another small discoloured area to the left of the mouth in the brown background. The ivory does not appear bowed. There are some minor surface scratches down the left hand side of the image, again only visible with a loupe. The acorn hanger is a little loose but in good order. The gilding to the brass oval is rubbed. There are numerous stress fractures to the ebonised frame and there are small losses to the extremities. We can see no evidence of any repair or restoration.
