Cover for a Snuff Box with a Portrait of a Young Woman is a 1805 by Jean-Urbain Guérin, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a miniature portrait of a young woman, painted on a circular cover for a snuff box. She has fair skin and brown hair pulled back, with a pearl necklace and earrings. Her white dress has a low neckline and puffy sleeves. The painting is done in a delicate style, with soft colors and fine details. The woman's expression is calm and serene, with a hint of a smile. If you like this style of painting, you might want to look into the Romanticism movement.
Jean-Urbain Guérin (French pronunciation: ; 1760 – 29 October 1836) was a French draughtsman and miniaturist.
