Portrait Miniature on Canvas

Remarkable 19th C. miniature oval portrait of a woman signed and dated 1827. Most miniatures are oil on ivory or vellum. This portrait is oil on canvas on its original pine backing. 3¼” x 4”. Period gilt frame. Touch-up to edges of canvas as a result of wear from a previous mount. Possibly Mid-Atlantic origin. Folky and wonderful.
