"Painted by ? & G.B. Millett(?) after a miniature painted in Bath wife of Peter ? (age) 29 years. Initial W or AV?

She's wearing a (heart shaped) beauty patch on the side of her chin.

Thanks Gillian, do you think it looks like J F Millet?

I mean painted by J F Millet

Believe it to be G B - Look at the capital B used in the word Bath. The Saxon alphabet didn't have a J. Can't find another capital G to measure against it.

Hi Gillian, I mean where it says painted by just above gb millet.

Oh I see now. That's a difficult call. Have you looked at the letters from the back of the paper, held up to the light. That sometimes can help eliminate the large splotches on the front.

I'll try that, I'll let you know tomorrow. Thanks x
