Rare Antique French Portrait Miniature: Napoleon Look - Alike, Full Military Dress
Item History & Price
In a brass frame which appears to have a had a gold wash is probably original. There is a a plastic covering over portrait, not glass. It probably had glass originally. I don't think this is a painting of Napoleon Bonaparte, but compare with third photo. This shows a very similar uniform and pose, but also has subtle differences in shape of eyebrows, etc. which makes me think it is the subject mimicking the pose. However, I am not an expert.
My mother w...as an antiques dealer and this was part of the estate left at her death. I think it was acquired at an auction NJ or NY in the 1980s.
