    these two are incredible, less than one inch in diameter and painetd with so many details. I'm not sure about the age of these two or who painted them or where they are from...
    the other miniatures in that collection are mainly from approx. 1760 to 1805. some of them are dated and signed by artists like Jean-Baptiste Jacques Augustin, Etienne Bouchardy, Georges Antoine Keman and a 19th century beauty by Johann Baptist Goestl in an ivory frame.
    anybody knows anything about the two tiniest miniatures? age artist origin?

      Fantastic miniatures collection!

      They are painted on ivory waffle, but I think the clear back ground one and the silhouette/miniature are on velum.
