    We picked up this miniature at a flea market this past summer and it appears to be on Ivory. We did not remove it from the black oval frame yet. It appears to be signed A’afn F. Lippi. If it is Filippo Lippi, he was an Italian Renaissance artist who lived and worked in Florence, Italy 1406-1469. It may be painted by someone else who signed his name. What do the letters in front of his name mean? It measures 3 1/2” by 2 1/2” (inner frame) and is under glass. Thanks everyone!

      Hi Golgotha, I don’t know how to turn them around. I uploaded them straight….maybe if I replace them one by one. Thank you.
      Apostate…are those 3 different data banks for artists?

      no elfenbein = ivory and cherrytree is the possible wooden part of the piece and lahaise is a known databankholder

      well were do we start , because your guess is as good as mine
      i presumed this was a elfenbein and cherrytree ( pimped ) combination hard to
      assess from a photobut it could be bone

      IMO bit premature maybe we shut out all the biedemeyer , empire style fin de siecle etc

      is this France or Italian, i got a stragne opinion here it is France instead of Italian
      FRENCh miniature frames so called NApoleon 3 are out , they are more affluent (busy , )

      and IMO they aren,t italian because the framing is mostly brass then and if they got a pseudo d,oro ring it is broad banded, yoursinner circkle is neklace design here

      what remarquable is it is signed miniature , who might think who gives a shit, but almost non miniutare is signed before 1900, mostly for religious doctrinarical reason but also historical appearence reasons

      what i did i to tried to shut out the most expensive mistakes, and that,s is italian ALTEA LUZI point of view,yours is too pastel, too soft pasted , yours got bold pasting , and she signed her stuff

      so we are probably defined bij style of the frame and signature important for the DATINg not for the artist, which i don,t know

      watch it for a while to get used to it , because it is bold frotte ( the fold in the right sleeve got no depth) the hands are a bit crude) but actually who cares , REmbrandt van RIJN was a genius but he was a total nitwit painting hands)

      overall it is a quite pleasant the pastel is not too JEfferson Airplane like ( white rabbit) the headgear is quite well
      i think it is a sort of France piece around 1920

      dating for a collector is not that important but crucial for a seller for the simple reason of the legislation in case of ivory namely cites 1947 ruling and clearence

      piece is rather niece
