    Sorry for all these posts recently. This will be the last one for a while (hopefully). I'm trying to figure out who this woman is. She looks very regal. Gilt brass brooch, I think. I've spent the last hour googling royalty between 1910-1930, and I can't seem to find her

    Jivvy the research is my favorite

    With that scarf, I was desperate for it to be Isadora Duncan.

    Sadly, it is not. *sigh*

    @Figtree3 I think this might be one for you. Pretty sure I've seen her before & suspect an actress.

    Because people often call things like this cameos, I see them regularly & know I have seen this figure many times, possibly as little Limoges plaques set as jewellery. OP's is different in looking more like a painted photo.

    Think I just looked for 'vintage portrait miniature brooch woman scarf', something that way.

    I had exactly the same thought, for exactly the same reason. But I agree... no.

    Maybe Lillie Langtry?

    A good thought, but I see @Debora and @Bronwen sorted it.

    Interesting. She was a Georgian character, not Victorian. Dead in 1810 so can't be a photograph of her.
