An early hand painted ebonized snuff box, 3-5/8" in diameter x 5/8" H, with a charming painting on the lid of two ladies in an interior. One lady is seated and has just finished writing a letter. She hands it to the lady standing behind her. The setting is a bedchamber, with a draped bed at the left, a fancy gilded framed painting on the wall and an open door at the right. Before the seated lady is a pedestal table on which stand writing implements and a letter box and two lit candles in candlesticks. On display in the Pittsburgh PA gallery.
