I have representatives from 28 different hands that are clearly signed or, in one case where signing would not have been possible due to the...
Un-effing-believable! Good on you. I never heard of this guy until you brought him along & now he has become a regular. Too weird, in a nice way.
Definitely need to look into this. I have more different magnifying devices.
She is chalcedony; she is just not chalcedonyx nor sardonyx, terms which designate the color under the white (onyx) layer in a cameo. There...
I see as soon as I introduce her here, Psyche needs to go in for a bit of a bath. This is the piece that interested both @PepperAnna & me, not...
Dionysian for sure, but I see a she, largely because the breasts are completely covered. The fellas tend to go more bare chested. Yes, I think...
I have shown this elsewhere on the Internet, but she's just so pretty, thought I'd give her an encore: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The only Francescangeli...

The image on the bottom of the last one puts me in mind of Pygmalion.
The ring itself is known as a collector's mount, very common in the late Georgian/Regency period. Suggests owner believed it to be an antiquity...
It's typical Schmoll: does most of a scene reasonably well; has one detail that misses the mark.
Hello, Mamalama. Is it made of pottery? Or wood? Or??? How big is it? What does the back look like? Where in the world was it acquired? The...
I have to say, for such a big place, Russia does not seem to have provided its gem engravers with very interesting raw material. This tan on...
Presumably Rebecca and Eliezer & his camels. The camel with its head lifted reminds me of Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent. [ATTACH]
All the elements in the scene add up to that. Neat to find a work and the documentation. Any link for the cameo?
Separate names with a comma.
