<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 4420631, member: 8267&quot;][USER=602]@Aquitaine[/USER] - I was just composing a message asking if you could do that, with your photo manipulation skills. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It looks like there is a good chance that the &quot;miniature&quot; was cut out from the engraving and hand colored. (Or taken from a hand colored version of the engraving.) Another thing to compare would be the actual dimensions of the de Ghuy engraving and the miniature. According to info on a copy held by the Royal Collection Trust, the image area of the engraving is 13.0 x 8.8 cm. But someone would need to calculate the dimensions of the head area alone.</p><p><a href="https://www.rct.uk/collection/616646/henri-le-grand" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.rct.uk/collection/616646/henri-le-grand" rel="nofollow">https://www.rct.uk/collection/616646/henri-le-grand</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=12715]@BTZ64[/USER] - can you please check the orientation of the laid lines visible on the back of your image? If it is cut from an engraving, the lines should be in alignment with the image (ie, run vertically - parallel to the portrait, or horizontally - perpendicular to the portrait). If they run at some other angle, something else is going on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
