This superior quality miniature shows a girl adorning the marble busts of her parents with a flower garland. Strongly resembling works of French miniaturist Pierre Charles Cior, who was active at the turn of the 19th century (see our comparison images nr.6-8), this miniature could have very likely been the latter's original creation.

Pierre Charles Cior (1769 Paris - ca. 1840 ibidem) was a pupil of Bazil. At the Salon of 1796 he exhibited a frame containing several miniatures, and, in 1799, two other miniatures. It was thirty two years later in 1831 that Cior again participated at the Salon, making his final reappearance in 1838. The artist travelled a lot throughout his career. The details of his itineraries are unknown, yet it is known that he was appointed a Painter in Miniature to the King of Spain, and that he also worked quite a lot at the Russian Court, where, among others, he did the portraits of the Emperor Paul I of Russia and his wife, of Prince Kourakin and Princess Poniatowska. He also painted Prince Eszterhazy, the Queen of Holland, the Duke of Luxemburg, Louis XVIII and numerous other personalities.
