<p>[QUOTE="northernridge, post: 138997, member: 215"]A friend of mine inherited this small framed portrait. I'm guessing the size to be about 8" x 6".

The room contained Margaret Forrder's very extensive art collection. This was among other small pieces in a curio cabinet. Except for a different image, it appears nearly identical to hers. There was a mirror in the back of the cabinet, and she tells me the back was also the same as hers.</p><p><img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e28/northernridge/northernridge160/penny%202_zpsmdsphzso.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Can anyone enlighten us as to what she has?</p><p><br /></p><p>As always, thank you in advance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
