Attributed to Nicolas-Antoine Taunay (French, 1755-1830) a landscape

monogrammed l.c. 'S.S'(?), with a gilt-metal mount, set into the lid of a gold-lined circular tortoiseshell box, 8cm diameter, This miniature bears a traditional attribution to Nicolas-Antoine Taunay. Born in Paris in 1755, Taunay was a pupil of Francesco Giuseppe Casanova and exhibited at the Salon both before and after his studies in Rome, where he met Jacques-Louis David. He is more widely known for his time spent painting in Brazil after the fall of Napoleon, where he contributed to the foundation of the country's Royal Art Academy. His work as a miniaturist was likely influenced by his upbringing in a family of Parisian goldsmiths; his father, Pierre, also served as an enamel painter at the Sèvres porcelain manufactory.
