"The lover’s eye is an 18th century variation on a portrait miniature of a secret love which typically displayed only the eye and eyebrow, sometimes a curl or two of hair or a bit of the side of the nose. Secret love tokens, only the lover and the beloved were aware of the identity of the individual portrayed." This piece comes with a certificate of authenticity in a gift box.
