Caption

Helena Radziwill, née Przezdziecka 1752–1821, with grey hair, in a red dress, sitting on a chair with her arms folded; on her head a bonnet with an egret. The grey hair and clothing indicate the portrait dates from 1815–1820, when Helena may have been 63–68 years old; earlier suggestion that she was pregnant is impossible given the date. Artist: Gebauer, Ernst 1782–1865. Date: 1815–1820. Place: Poland. Type: portrait miniature. Dimensions: height 15.5 cm, width 11.8 cm., A worn ornate frame with a scalloped outer edge painted a muted yellow with visible chips and dark spots surrounds a recessed inner border made of exposed wood tones and brown paper tape; inside that is a matte in a slate gray-blue color bordering a central panel of olive green with a few smudged pale marks and faint scribbled marks; the overall palette includes yellow, brown, gray-blue, olive green, and small areas of pale off-white.
