[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 2065146, member: 5833"]Even if there was a sitter, think it would have been for a model, not with the intent of producing a portrait likeness. I still think this is a fantasy female. If owner, sure took a chance. Always a good sign when a speculative signature turns out to be in use for real people. Even better when the name is attached to a cameist. Your cameo is earlier & much nicer than the current Palombo's work, but the trade often runs in families, so you may have hit it.
