<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 55562, member: 33"]It's hard to tell.... It does look pretty old, and reminds me of miniatures painted on ivory from the early 19th century. But the painting may also date from the period of the dance card. There is no evidence that the painting is older than the dance card itself. I'm not saying that it is not older, but am unclear if one can base this judgment just on its looks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fig[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
