Cameo Creations

Lady Louise Fitzgerald and the country lass in blue called simply "Innocence" were the first pair of Cameo Creations that I purchased. I noticed on Ebay that another portrait of "Innocence" in a frame made of similar material was said to be dated 1934. Now that I have acquired a few more Cameo Creations, I am surprised by the casual portrait of the country girl since all the others I have found so far appear to be formal portraits. Another work by Jean-Baptiste Grueze, "A Boy with his Dog", displays a similar tenderness. Called "morality in paint", the French artist was known for his genre paintings with a moral message. I also found a link to other works by artist Franz Xavier Winterhalter. His portrait of Madame Rimsky-Korsakov is absolutely breathtaking. If you have any interesting information about these ladies or the artists that captured their beauty, please e-mail me so I can update my page. To see the rest of my collection, click Next below.
