[QUOTE="Dory64, post: 7791731, member: 17558"]Hi all I've recently bought these portrait miniatures at auction. I believe they are all hand painted one on velum (or something similar), one on ivory or card and the third - not sure. They are all backed in such a way it would be difficult to take them apart to be more certain of their composition. The one of the man could be anyone, and is unsigned. The other two are of St Fabiola signed I Henner and Caroline Bonaparte signed but illegible to my eyes. I would imagine that these two were the type knocked up for tourists and sold at museums where the originals resided back in the day. I'm curious to know if any of you can tell me anything about them and their age/value. Thanks in advance.
