This miniature portrait is painted on porcelain. It is signed "F Till Dresden" for Franz Till of Dresden, Germany, who died after 1866 and apparently also worked for, or owned, a porcelain painting company. There are a number of other fine painters from Dresden, who worked in the porcelain factories, but also painted miniatures.
For more about Franz Till and another miniature portrait of an elegant lady in the collection which is also by him, see View
The name of this young sitter is unknown. 553
