The cover is fragile and the back cover is missing

I just can't resist these fancy inlaid treen darning eggs when I come across them--so pretty

Striking Oil on Board Portrait of Woman in Profile with Blue Earring gold hand The cover is fragile andI spotted this beauty from across the room and made a bee line for her. I've got a thing for paintings with very dark grounds, which lend a sort of mystery and elusiveness to their subjects, I think, and it's just right for setting off the pale skinned, red lipped profile of this fine featured woman, with blue drop earring matching the dab of blue to her eye. The portrait makes me think of both Vermeer and of African hairdresser signboards. Lovely. 7
