Cut-out silhouette – paper – papier-mâché frame – 19th century A cut-out silhouette depicting the profile of a young woman wearing a bonnet, made of black paper and enhanced with fine details drawn in ink on a light-colored background. This silhouette portrait technique, particularly popular before the widespread adoption of photography, allowed for the creation of a faithful and elegant likeness at a lower cost. The work is presented in its original black papier-mâché frame, adorned with an oval brass border and a hanging ring decorated with a floral metal motif. The piece is a characteristic example of 19th-century popular portraiture and exhibits a patina and some signs of wear consistent with its age. Details: Height: 13 cm – Width: 11 cm – Image size: 5.8 × 7.3 cm – Weight: 0.090 kg.
