Synopsis

'Miniatures were originally produced in translucent watercolour and opaque body-colour on vellum. After about 1600 oil paint was sometimes used. but this never achieved the luminosity which is central to the miniature's appeal ... the card on which the vellum was mounted was [subsequently] replaced by ivory ...

Julia Brown has chosen the 25 examples in this book covering the 16th to the 19th centuries to showcase just how attractive miniatures can be.
