Late 1700's Miniature Portrait...

I have posted this pic a few times before, but I have new Information I took my portrait to a museum because its deteriorating fast and I was hoping to find out how to preserve it. The person at the museum pointed out something on the portrait I never had seen before there magnifying system is way better than mine, as in my older posts I thought the portrait was made by Charles Wilson Peale a famous American artist who I thought painted the picture but I had no proof, now I do on the miniature portrait itself are the Initials "CWP" Charles Wilson Peale. This is a never ending saga and it continues still :).... here is the pic again with a cxlose up of the letters sorry I cant get it clearer but in the museums microscope you can clearly see "CWP". and I've included other famous painting made by this person. hh all jd

First thing I would do is get it apraised before I donate it. Tke some good pics and ten donate it to a worthy cause along with a letter of appraisal. Then deduct it from my income tax at years end. Heaven knows I need allthe deductions I can get! jimakaks
