Pierre-Adolphe Hall's 18th-century "Box with portrait of a young girl with the initials DE" is an exquisite example of miniature portraiture. The delicate ivory miniature, encased within an ornate silver box, depicts a young girl with the initials "DE," possibly a member of a prominent family. The box, measuring just over 2 inches in diameter, demonstrates Hall's mastery in combining intricate detail with the delicate art of miniature painting, a popular form of portraiture during the 18th century.
