The image shows a rectangular brooch with a miniature portrait painted on ivory. The portrait depicts a close-up of a person's eye and a portion of their forehead and hair. The eye is a striking blue, and the hair is a warm brown, styled in tight curls. The background is a soft, muted cream color. The brooch itself is made of gold and is decorated with small, repeating patterns along its edges. A pin is visible on the right side, indicating it's meant to be fastened to clothing. The overall style suggests a piece from the late 18th or early 19th century, possibly a sentimental or mourning piece.
