paint. It has been professionally mounted and measures
23 ½ inches high from its base and it is 20 inches wide.
An excellent folk art item.

the sitter seemingly rising from the clouds, typical for an Ellsworth
miniature. James Ellsworth was born in 1802 in Windsor Ct. and
died in 1874. Condition is excellent. The frame in original paint is
mid 19th C but probably not original to the piece. The watercolor
is attached at the top with a tape hinge to an acid free board which in
