From a Bay Area estate collection are 14 portrait miniatures in the April sale. Highlighted
depictions include collectible images such as a military serviceman, a gentleman at his
writing desk and lady at her tea table sold as one lot, a man of period styling and a
folk oil on board portrait of a lady. These miniatures were used to express sentiments
and keep memories of loved ones near. For example, they often served as a snapshot of
the time, as soldiers and sailors kept portraits close by while they were on duty.
