<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 353761, member: 5833&quot;]Cameo portraits of women are much rarer than ones of men.&nbsp; I add others when I find them, but used this one to start a Pinterest board for them.&nbsp; The description says it is from Berlin, names the engraver &amp; gives the surnames, maiden &amp; married, of the families from whom it came.&nbsp; I wanted to make it possible for family members doing genealogical research to find it.&nbsp; Pretty confident it is one of 3 sisters, may be the one who stayed behind when the others went to South America &amp; committed suicide when anticipating arrest.&nbsp; I have a couple of photos but comparison is hard between full face &amp; profile, with &amp; without hat.</p><p><br /></p><p>Had not thought about its possible interest to a museum.&nbsp; Would absolutely be willing to bequeath it to the right institution.&nbsp; Have another I would like to give eventually to the National Gallery of Ireland.&nbsp; Have been in touch with them &amp; know they would like to have it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
