Lover's Eye Portrait - Comission

Miniature “Lover’s Eye” portraits became incredibly popular in 18th century Europe during a time when manners of courtship and public displays of affection were considered taboo. Many couples had to keep their love a secret. To exchange a lustful glance with the one you love was a charged act, and to defy such societal limitations, this way of keeping a reminder of your loved one close was developed.
Every eye is amazingly unique – from every freckle in the iris to how the light hits one’s lashes.

A Lover’s Eye portrait commission can be the perfect surprise for your significant other or a fun piece to add to a gallery wall collection.

Each order includes ONE eye portrait.
