This miniature portrait although very well painted, is believed to be a copy. It is thought to be a copy of the well known self portrait of the artist Frederic Millet.
It is inscribed at the lower right "F E Millet, Th Paraocel". There was a French artist called Therese Parrocel (1745-1835), but the dates are wrong for her.
Thus it is either by an unrecorded artist of that name or her name has been used by a copyist, and probably was painted around 1910-30. 291
