Lot 495: John Ramsier (American/Kentucky, 1861-1936), A

John Ramsier (American/Kentucky, 1861-1936), A Pair of Portraits of "Two Sisters", watercolor miniatures, both signed lower right, 3 1/4 in. x 2 1/2 in., in matching brass pendants. Note: The "Two Sisters" portraits are characteristic Ramsier miniature paintings on milk glass. He was noted for his style of painting that mimicked photography; this fact is not surprising considering his preliminary training was in photography and photographic coloring. Both are signed on the lower right in blue paint, as was Ramsier's tendency.
