The Neo-Gothic style cathedral bracelet contains a miniature portrait of Edwin de Fagan, the younger brother of Sophie de Fagan, who tragically died in 1829, aged only thirty-two, following a fall from the gig. Made in the workshop of Jean-Baptiste Fossin, who from 1819 held the prestigious role of jeweler of the king as indicated by the label glued on the original case, the bracelet, datable to the end of the third decade, with its scrolls, pinnacles , the two aedicules with the knights in armor and the delicate enamel flowers is a typical example of that neo-Gothic style, inspired by the rediscovery of the Middle Ages, which after having appeared in the early nineteenth century, experienced a significant revival starting from the Fifty. The jewels decorated with the miniature portrait of a loved one were among the most popular sentimental jewels during the eighteenth century and continued to enjoy great popularity even in the following century. The miniature inserted in the bracelet is the work of Pauline Ducruet (1781-1865), wife of the more famous Jean Baptiste Jacques Augustin (1759-1832), one of the best-known illuminators of his time, whose naturalism was opposed to the accentuated impressionism of the contemporary Jean Baptiste Isabey. A pupil of her husband, Pauline Augustin, she faithfully imitated his style, to the point that their works are often difficult to distinguish.
