This portrait miniature, superbly executed in enamel, is a lovely example of a type very popular amongst middle- and moneyed-classes of Europe and the United States in the mid-nineteenth century. The sitter’s husband, English collector Alfred Morrison, was a champion of the artist, Lepec, and twenty years’ later commissioned a second enamel portrait of his wife (who seems hardly to have aged), also in The Met’s collection (2010.33). Morrison acquired an astonishingly large exhibition piece, an Italianate enameled vase and stand, also made by Lepec for display at the 1867 Paris Exposition Universelle, also in The Met’s collection (2004.452).
