I procured a pair of bucolic silhouettes from a boot fair in Gloucestershire, I am in pursuit of more diminutive masterpieces. There is something so innately precious about an intricately painted portrait or landscape. A beautiful artist friend of mine: Alice Instone, has painted a series of Lilliputian portraits and charms. A tribute to the sombre yet romantic Victorians who would treasure such keepsakes of a beloved within a locket or a coat pocket for the rest of their mortal toil.
