<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 8151948, member: 2844&quot;]If the subject matter is taken from a Dutch original (engraving or painting), the gent is likely to be a commoner, the most important people in the economy of the Dutch Republic. The girl doesn&#039;t look like a peasant girl, she is wearing nice leather shoes. They could have a similar socio-economic background.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see Flemish or Dutch. The girl&#039;s cap is not unlike that of Vermeer&#039;s &#039;Milkmaid&#039;, and similar to ones that were worn in Dutch West Brabant and Flanders.</p><p><br /></p><p>A lady from Etten-Leur, Dutch West Brabant, wearing a similar cap, topped by a 19th century floral and bead decoration called a &#039;kroon&#039; or &#039;kroezel&#039;.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]425569[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Commonly seen in Dutch and German.</p><p><br /></p><p>Foliate scroll? Used a lot in Dutch jewellery.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do wonder though, isn&#039;t the mount a bit big for the cameo? Could the cameo be a replacement? A charming piece, even if they didn&#039;t start life together.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
