    I found what appears to be a very very old picture in its original frame. Appears to be a painting. I would like to know a little more about when ya'll think it could be from PXL_20230105_140550466~2.jpg PXL_20230105_140555524~2.jpg

    Yours is a modern decorative piece. The painting is a copy of 'Vigée Le Brun Self-Portrait with her Daughter.' (This information is written faintly on the back in pencil.) The original was painted in 1789. Here's another like yours found on the internet. The frames of these types of works are typically bone. There are other threads here about similar miniatures.

    I suppose that didn't come as a huge shock. Having it not be original. A little disappointed though :(

    I was wondering what the pencil markings were, thank you for clarifying that for me!

    That is a beautiful painting. I was doing a little reading about it. Very cool piece!
