Framed Oval Portrait of a Young Child

This item is a circular or oval-shaped photographic or printed portrait featuring a young child with dark hair and rosy cheeks. The child is depicted in a candid pose, with fingers near the mouth, suggesting a moment of play or shyness. The image appears to be a reproduction or a studio photograph, characterized by soft lighting and a warm, sepia-toned or muted color palette typical of mid-to-late 20th-century family portraiture. The portrait is housed within a matte board—likely a deep burgundy or maroon color—and is finished with a circular silver-toned or metallic inner bevel edge. The outer frame is partially visible, appearing to be a thin gold-toned or brass-finished metal frame. In terms of condition, there is a noticeable circular glare on the right side of the protective glass or acrylic, which obscures some detail. The image itself shows a slight lack of sharp focus, which may be an intentional soft-focus artistic choice or a result of the printing quality. There are no immediately visible maker's marks or signatures on the front of the image. The style and framing suggest a mass-produced or commercial studio origin from the 1970s to the 1990s, intended for domestic display.
