<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Antiquer, post: 222445, member: 4308&quot;]it will be a difficult one. You&#039;ve said it is painted on porcelain! Painters also copied photographs! In the late 19C and early 20C many photographs were sent from the United States to France, Germany, and possibly Italy, to be copied as painted miniatures on ivory or porcelain. Many artists also made many miniature copies of large oil portraits by other artists. If you bought this in America than keep in mind that many American miniatures are unsigned, some are also close in style to British or European painters, which is not surprising as many painters emigrated to America. Thus it can be difficult to attribute miniatures to specific artists, or even to the country of origin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
