[PAINTED MINIATURES]. [BONAPARTE, Napoleon (1769-1821), subject]. Hand-Painted Oval Miniature of Napoleon in the Style of Jean-Baptiste Isabey (1767-1855). [France, ca. 1800s]. Handsome portrait of Napoleon in uniform, without a hat. Sight approximately 2 ? x 1 ??. Framed under glass in a 19th century brass frame accented with silk (this frame was most likely employed at a somewhat later date in the 19th century; it is quite possible that this miniature was originally used as a brooch or similar decoration). Frame size approximately 4 ? x 3?. A small hairline crack is barely visible on the right portion of the miniature. Very good.
