Little Ladies

Having spent the majority of my adult life in a household full of males, I began collecting antique portrait miniatures of ladies and girls in an attempt to even the balance!

Here they are.  I don't know much about them, except for the woman in the bottom row, far right.  I purchased her from the ex-wife of the late actor Richard Harris.  Apparently he gave this beautiful miniature to her as a Valentine's Day present.  I always thought it rather sad that she decided to sell it, but then again I'm happy to have it now!
