This unknown boy with long blonde curls posed for Isabey at around the turn of the 19th century. The artist captured the boy’s childlike tenderness with great sensitivity. This miniature will be on show in the exhibition with miniatures from the era of Napoleon (Boy in a Blue Coat, c. 1800, inv. no 10374). . . . . . . . . #tanseyminiatures #tanseyminiaturesfoundation #portraitminiature #miniatureportrait #artcollector #portraiture #museum #art #museo #sammlungvonminiatur #18thcenturyportrait #19thcenturyportrait #fineartpainting
