<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aureliel, post: 326217, member: 3623&quot;]Oh that is very interesting, thank you for your reply and the link! Wow, I had no idea there was quite so much confusion about the original painting, especially as it has been reproduced so often.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think it&#039;s heavy enough to be porcelain, and also from up close and glancing at it from the side it seems the brush strokes are different than from how they would look on porcelain. But then, I&#039;m only basing that on the two porcelain miniature jewellery pieces I have (jewellery is more were my knowledge lies - really don&#039;t know much about paintings and miniatures!) as they look quite different.</p><p><br /></p><p>I kind of feel like opening up the back just to see what it was painted on and perhaps see if there is any other information on the back. Would that be terribly sacriligious?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
