Miniature portraiture is the art of reproducing a portrait of a person on a small surface. It can adorn personal objects and use a variety of media, including ivory.
Miniatures are offered as tokens of love or friendship. Historically, miniature painters have played on the ambiguous definition of their art, for fashion or to escape the constraints of guilds.
Their works are rarely signed.
