Two Framed Cameo Portraits (1880-1900)
Both cameos are made of contrasting blue and white agate, with relief depictions on a deep blue background. On the left is the profile of a man, on the right, a woman with classically braided hair and a draped robe. The depiction is in a style reminiscent of classical antiquity, with influences from Greco-Roman portraiture. This style is typical of the Neoclassical revival of cameo art in Europe from the late 18th century onwards. Cameos like this were often made as luxury items for collectors, travelers, and aristocrats, reflecting their fascination with classical antiquity.
