<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moreotherstuff, post: 4420501, member: 56&quot;]Despite being an engraving, the picture shown by Lithographer looks closest to OP&#039;s miniature.&nbsp; The only problem is that it has been dated to 1764.&nbsp; But we don&#039;t know when OP&#039;s miniature was painted.&nbsp; The notations on the backing card may have been added at a later date and may not be correct.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>That engraving doesn&#039;t quite fit any of the painted images shown here.&nbsp; If another painted portrait could be found that is closer to the engraving, the date of that work might determine whether or not the date on the miniature is sustainable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pourbus II, a contemporary of the king, certainly did enough portraits of Henri IV.&nbsp; There could easily be others out there, as well as others lost.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see no obvious reason to doubt an early 18thC attribution, but I&#039;m not an expert.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
