About the Item

A unique 19th-century miniature oil study depicting an old apothecary, shown with a pestle and mortar at his side.

This unusual and evocative little piece is well presented in a gold frame, making it a fascinating decorative object as well as a compelling study. Dated to the reverse and indistinctly signed.
