The miniature was probably painted on an ivory base, but I don't mention it in the title because I'm not sure
Miniature portraits are the art of reproducing a person's portrait on a small surface.
Can adorn various objects (snuffbox, ring, etc.) and use different media and techniques.
These miniatures were the means of representing and disseminating the portrait of famous people.
They therefore disappeared after the arrival of the daguerreotype in 1839.
Very good general condition.
Very delicate painting work
Note the parchment on the back is peeling off (see photo)
Personally I left it as is but it is something simple to stick back on.
