 History: Portrait miniatures were popular keepsakes and status symbols, particularly during the 18th and 19th centuries. They served as portable mementos of loved ones or as diplomatic gifts among the elite. 


The creation of portrait miniatures required exceptional skill, as artists had to capture likeness and detail within a very limited space. The delicate brushwork and attention to detail made them highly prized works of art.


Notable artists like Richard Cosway and Jean-Baptiste Isabey gained fame for their exquisite portrait miniatures, and their works are highly sought after by collectors today. The value of a portrait miniature depends on several factors, including the artist's reputation, the sitter's identity, the quality of execution, and the overall condition of the piece.
