Antique Victorian “Lady Berger” Lithograph Portrait in Original Oval Frame

Antique Victorian “Lady Berger” Hand-Colored Lithograph Portrait in Original Oval Frame (c. 1840s–1860s) Description: Beautiful antique Victorian-era portrait titled “Lady Berger”, dating to approximately the mid-19th century (circa 1840s–1860s). This piece is a hand-colored lithograph, a popular portrait medium of the time, featuring delicate facial detailing, soft tonal shading, and subtle watercolor accents. The subject is depicted in classic Victorian fashion—center-parted hair with soft curls, a romantic neckline, and a ribboned brooch—consistent with portrait styles from the early to mid-1800s. It is housed in its original oval wooden frame with a rich mahogany finish, gilt inner ring, and black accent band—an elegant and increasingly rare combination. The back label reading “Lady Berger” appears to be original or very early, adding to its charm and historical character.
