Christie's London . A bid which almost equalled the high pre-sale estimate for this miniature by Meuret who worked in Paris from 1822. He was considered as one of the best artists of the 1830s and painted chiefly from life people from the court and sometimes from paintings by Winterhalter. He was strongly influenced by Isabey.
