A Very Rare Wonderful signed Miniature Portrait

In 1818 he moved to Vienna to study painting
at the Vienna Academy and was a student of
Moritz Michael Daffinger (1790-1849).
He rose to great esteem in 1840's & 50's

He died in 1873 at age seventy four.

The beautiful Blue eyed Lady in this miniature Painting
is wearing her hair and velvet clothing from the styles of the early to mid
