Pair of Miniatures: Portrait of a Man and Portrait of a Woman Wearing a Miniature is a 1780 unspecified by Thomas Hazlehurst, a Rococo painting work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows two small oval portraits side by side. On the left is a man in a dark coat and white cravat, looking straight ahead with a pale blue background. On the right is a woman in a white dress with a pearl necklace, holding a tiny painted portrait of a child in her lap. Both portraits have a gold rim and are set against a faded blue-gray backdrop. The woman’s necklace includes a small painted portrait, which was a real trend in the 1700s. These tiny paintings were often worn as keepsakes.
