Description

Meet Lucille Graves, the stone-faced little queen of the Graves family, captured in a stunning early 20th century enlarged portrait photograph displayed behind period-correct convex bubble glass. The ornate oval frame is a showstopper in its own right, featuring elaborately carved acanthus leaf and floral cartouche appliques at all four compass points with a warm antique gold finish, measuring approximately 24 inches at its widest point. A handwritten note affixed to the cardboard backing identifies the subject as Lucille Graves, born 1906, died 1964, never married, only child of Richard and Anne Graves, and cousin to one Margaret Allen. The photograph itself shows age-appropriate foxing and toning, the frame has minor crackling consistent with its age, and the convex glass is intact, making this an exceptionally complete and well-documented antique portrait ready to haunt your hallway with absolute authority.
