Portrait of a pastel of the 19th century?

What do you think about this portrait? The seller claims that this painting.

 

If it's original, it's nice, but that pebbling in the background makes me think it might be a chromolithograph.

 

Yes, the pebbles also embarrass me. It's interesting though, is it an original or a lithograph?

Although there is also something similar to pebbles there, but this is the original. Well, I do not know what to think about this picture yet))

 

I can't tell from the photos if it's original or not. It's small, so it could be a stippled painting.

This is definitely a chromo, but it's a detail of a larger print and much, much smaller than the painting you are showing:

 

Well, yes, it's more like chromolithography, I understand?

 

A stipple painting is composed of tiny dots of paint applied by a brush. It could be that, but I can't tell from the pictures.

 

So all this is similar to painting?

 

It may be a painting. It may be a print. I can't tell from the photos.

 

Yes, I learned from a friend, this is chromolithography.
Not painting. I will not buy it)).
