<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 26213, member: 51&quot;]Thank you Af, LadyBranch, 6 Rivets and Evelyb.</p><p><br /></p><p>Definitely <i>Raphael&#039;s de Brécy Tondo </i>on number 2.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are a couple of thoughts I had. Store where I got these does some consignments, they all were from the same consigner, so could be that they are not all the same age, but from someone who collected this style. The Madonna picture seems to be painted on a more rough ivory or bone, I finally found my stronger jewelry loupe and can see lots of striations in the material surface of the painting. All three are definitely painted, gouache over watercolor, I believe.&nbsp; And now turns out all are signed. With the new magnification I spotted three initials on the cuff of the Madonna&#039;s rolled up sleeve, although a bit hard to make out &quot;C Q ...?&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as selling Ivory on Ebay, if you search &quot;ivory portrait&quot; there are hundreds of matches with &quot;ivory&quot; boldly in the title.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure if these could ship internationally or not.&nbsp; I&#039;m as surprised as anyone because I had those Company School India 19th century miniatures I wrote about here, and Bonham&#039;s could not take them because of the ivory, that was just one month ago. However seems Ebay is still okay with it.&nbsp; If anyone has current experience shipping this kind of thing internationally, please let me know.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is one last photo (signed Lou) of the unrecognized one the off chance someone recognizes it as a copy of another painting.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]6536[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
