"Florine Turner" is a miniature portrait on ivory by American artist John Carlin, created in 1845. The work depicts a young girl in a white dress standing in a landscape setting. This small-scale portrait, measuring 4 x 3 1/16 in. (10.1 x 7.8 cm), is a delicate and detailed example of 19th-century miniature painting, showcasing Carlin's talent for capturing the likeness and innocence of his subject.
