Vintage Hand-Coloured Studio Photograph of a Child, 1940s Framed Portrait in Gilt Frame

A charming hand-coloured studio photograph of a young child, dating from around the 1940s. The child is pictured smiling, dressed in a pale green gingham dress with a matching hair ribbon, seated beside a wooden rocking horse toy — a lovely period detail that adds to the photograph’s warmth and character. The soft, hand-applied colouring is typical of studio portraiture from the era, giving the image a gentle, painterly quality quite different from a straightforward black and white photograph. It is presented in a decorative gilt frame with a double cream and gold mount, ready to hang. A lovely piece of social history and a charming addition to a gallery wall of vintage portraits and photography.
