[QUOTE="giotto, post: 1631901, member: 13931"]Hello You are right about the blue boy ,I bought it at an opp shop many years ago very cheap $5.00 a bargain at the time (it may have been worth $200.00) It has the gallery label of Kunsthandel Roelofs, Amsterdam on the back. Very decorative . Not sure what period and where these were done? This one may have been done in Amsterdam. My point was to show the difference between real people miniatures and decorative ones. I have added a few others I have. These are may be husband and wife ,or brother and sister, you can see his miniature in the painting on her dress, quiet a rare thing for both to still be together .circa 1840 not signed .(may be by William Egley 1798-1870 English) Regards Giotto [img]https://i.imgur.com/DKQ6zHt.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/LVWgp5G.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZhAG96X.jpg[/img] Regards Giotto[/QUOTE]
