1820 French Ebony And Ivory Snuff Box With Miniature Painting Superb

1820 French Ebony with Ivory trim and center lid Miniature painting on ivory Masterpiece. Box is approx. 3 inches in diameter and is 2 parts. Lid painting is a Miniature Masterpiece. Approx. 2 inches on ivory and trimmed in gold gilt and ivory trim. The depiction of a family admiring the finished portrait of a Grandmother. Such a story with the 3 generations...the Grandmother, Grandfather, mother and child.

The artist is standing behind with his palette in hand. So charming to see the Grandfather with the child. Rare...I have never seen such a scene before and so beautifully painted. Box is in lovely condition and painting strong color and no seen chips or cracks.
