I have tried with both a loupe and my phone, but still can't quite make out the full text written at the bottom--definitely her name is Abigail, but I can't quite get her last name, and then what I take for perhaps a monogram and also a date just below. I think the portrait late 18th-first decade 19th century and certainly American, while the pendant, with an opening for a lock of hair on reverse, maybe a few decades little later, but i am not an expert. Ink on paper, with what I think is a very charming combination of loose and fine mark-making. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 7\/8\" x 2 3\/8\" not including loop. Glass on pendant is curved (convex), so there is some distance between portrait and glass. General surface wear to the pendant as shown; structurally very sound and tightly sealed. There is one small tear\/flag to paper of portrait along perimeter right edge near center as evident, minor. Much better in hand, feels more rich and vivid and precisely rendered. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48560795222270,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_8637_8aba95a8-b296-4f15-84e2-3dcddd622171.png?v=1783701038","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/very-naive-late-18th-early-19th-century-ink-drawn-portrait-of-abigail-in-mourning-locket","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
