An ink drawing of a "Lover's Eye" brooch in an engraving style with a fountain pen
Lover's Eyes are Georgian miniature paintings of a loved one's eye, often worn as brooches, pendants or rings with jeweled frames. I'm still playing with a weathered engraving style and enjoying the process! (The eye model is my lovely wife, Olivia, half of @theveiledmirror.bsky.social) #PenAndInk

We actually picked up a few Victorian post cards and a stereoscope card yesterday that has a similar effect.
