<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 652753, member: 5833&quot;]These country scenes are never topnotch in execution, but interest me because I have never seen any two identical ones.&nbsp; The majority of cameo subjects are copied from earlier work, either glyptic or one of the fine arts, &amp; are not the invention of the cutter/engraver.&nbsp; While there are certain elements you see all the time in cameos of this type, they are mixed &amp; rearranged in endless ways, evidently according to the whim of the artisan.&nbsp; Sometimes a well is in the scene, &amp; then you find them erroneously IDed as <a href="https://www.cameotimes.com/index.php/profiles-1/religious/rebecca-at-the-well" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cameotimes.com/index.php/profiles-1/religious/rebecca-at-the-well" rel="nofollow">Rebecca at the Well</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>The fence &amp; the vista beyond of a field or garden make this one out of the ordinary, as does the hat on the lady.&nbsp; Don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever seen one that did not have a tree similar to this.&nbsp; Not sure what cutter was going for on the animal.&nbsp; Quadrupeds I see most are goats, dogs, &amp; sheep/lambs.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is more decisively cut than most.&nbsp; Mount is 20th century; suspect cameo is too.&nbsp; Initials look like LG, afraid I do not know who that is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
