These unique pieces became popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries in Europe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1784, while still a prince, George secretly commissioned a miniature painting of his own eye to give to his mistress, who at the time, was a cause of controversy. To avoid scandal, they kept their love discreet, and the single-eye portrait allowed them to keep each other close without revealing the full identity. This sparked a trend among the aristocracy, where lovers would exchange eye portraits as a symbol of their secret love, but they also may have been exchanged between family members and friends.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI find Lover’s Eye paintings deeply inspiring, there’s something so captivating about how these small portraits convey so much feeling in a single look. I’ve started painting my own interpretations of lover’s eyes for you to take home, as only few of the original eyes remain. It’s a beautiful way to blend together my love of history and antiques with my passion for painting and creating, so I hope you all enjoy!!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little Doe","offers":[{"title":"Vintage Frame","offer_id":47225718472892,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Antique Frame","offer_id":47225718505660,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Locket","offer_id":47225718538428,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/4992\/7356\/files\/Little_Doe_Vintage_2a212338-a415-4c39-8a99-f3dfd666aa9c.jpg?v=1785704502","url":"https:\/\/shoplittledoe.com\/products\/custom-lovers-eye","provider":"Little Doe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
