    Very nice and big real chalk drawing but unsigned . Been out off the frame and the back is also without any text .

    But to me it looks like maybe a drawing off Princes Irene off the Netherlands in her younger days ? So any ideas maybe about the person portrayed and the artist ? The paper is Orange so maybe a clue ? P1010041 (Small).JPG P1010042 (Small).JPG P1010043 (Small).JPG P1010040 (Small).JPG Thanks

    Nice drawing, but I can't see the resemblance. Different nose, mouth, eyebrows, eyes.
    Princess Irene in her early twenties:

    The drawing looks 1970s at the earliest, when Irene was in her 30s- early 40s and looked like this:

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    I LOVE the softness achieved in the face.....as well as the mysterious, yet pensive, look in her eyes!!!!!!! It's WONDERFUL, but can't help other than admire it!!!!!

    Think I better put an explanatory note on the back of the pastel portrait of me as a 4 year old in that year's Easter outfit. My mother attached several newspaper clippings about the artist, but not sure there's one to prevent someone from thinking it is Princess Anybody.

    Surely you are. :)
    Only a matter of time before you find yourself as a cameo. ;)

    More like Queen of Denial.

    This guy, located in Cyprus, sells on eBay as 'kammee'. His listings have become less deceptive than they used to be, when he would insinuate that his new work came out of an important Swiss family collection. Although I have never purchased anything from him, out of the blue last year he sent me a message promoting his cameos & pointing out that he could do my portrait. As politely as I could, told him I really only collect antique cameos & the last thing I wanted was a cameo portrait of myself.

    The modern portrait cameos I have seen look more like cartoons, not like Victorian/Edwardian ones. But then the hairstyles now don't look like those either.
