Miniaturen

Gemälde, Zeichnungen u. Grafiken 16. bis 19. Jhd. – Empire-Miniaturen mit den Darstellungen eines männlichen und eines weiblichen Portraits in repräsentativer Kleidung auf dünnem Beinblatt. Die Herstellung von Portraitminiaturen etablierte sich als eigenständige Darstellungsform im frühen 16. Jahrhundert und fand ihren Höhepunkt Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts. Die feinmalerischen Bildnisse dienten der Repräsentation, der Betrachtung und des portablen Gedenkens an eine nahestehende Person.
