Miniature Hand Painted Portrait on Porcelain
A beautiful portrait of the Goddess Hebe, hand painted in immaculate detail on a small oval of porcelain. Set on a velvet mat in a beautiful gold frame, this is the perfect little piece for a shelf of curiosities or a gallery wall!
The Goddess Hebe is the Greek Goddess of Youth, and was the only one with the power to restore youth to mortals. As the youngest of the gods it was her job to keep them eternally young. Clearly this made her very popular. She was also the cupbearer in Olympus, and needless to say if you keep me eternally young and constantly provide me with what I assume 'nectar and ambrosia' are, you're gonna be in my good books.
