<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PepperAnna, post: 4546926, member: 17332&quot;]I think you are correct. Now that you said it, I don&#039;t know how I missed that. I think he is Pope Pius XII. Later portraits show him with a bit of an under chin wattle.[ATTACH=full]402944[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am not sure. I was wondering if maybe they were Tassies or something similar? It is very hard to tell from the pictures. The descriptions call them &quot;carved cameo silhouette portraits&quot;. Here is the link so you can check them out.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/mallams-ltd-oxford/catalogue-id-srmalla10155/lot-2b790e81-64b3-436b-afb5-af0400e3eb3a" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/mallams-ltd-oxford/catalogue-id-srmalla10155/lot-2b790e81-64b3-436b-afb5-af0400e3eb3a" rel="nofollow">https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/mallams-ltd-oxford/catalogue-id-srmalla10155/lot-2b790e81-64b3-436b-afb5-af0400e3eb3a</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The epaulet man! I think there was a previous conversation about who he might be. Roman draped clothing but an epaulet was peeping out at the shoulder.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I really favor the mythological also, but started collecting the portrait cameos too, over the last few years. My first one was the Neri lady I have already posted before, which I bought more for the fact she was signed, rather than the portrait itself. I have really come to appreciate their beauty and accuracy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
