This miniature portrait of a lady, created between 1885 and 1899 by French artist Alfred André, is a striking example of a Victorian-era locket. The intricate detail of the woman's elaborate headdress and the delicate brushwork create a sense of intimacy and elegance. The small size and oval format are typical of this type of artwork, intended for personal adornment. The piece is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
