<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 574087, member: 5833&quot;]It&#039;s possible I think the cameo resembles this particular sister only because she is the only one of 3 that is shown in profile.&nbsp; But since the cameo ended up in the US after first traveling with the family to South America, it makes sense to me that they would take along this durable portrait of the sister they would never see again.&nbsp; I imagine they could not take much, so chose carefully.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]173531[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Can&#039;t recall now if it was an uncontested auction or buy it now, just remember the price was absurdly low.&nbsp; This is the only other Otto cameo I have seen on the market:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://antiquecameos.net/cameos/cameo-of-princess-victoria96617273" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://antiquecameos.net/cameos/cameo-of-princess-victoria96617273" rel="nofollow">https://antiquecameos.net/cameos/cameo-of-princess-victoria96617273</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Much more impressive for story &amp; as a piece of jewellery but I think my cameo is better.&nbsp; Mine is in a little brass easel frame, so maybe sat on desk of husband.&nbsp; If the sitter is who I think she is, she was married to this man, who had already died when the family were forced to flee:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Arons" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Arons" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Arons</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
