Help dating a picture
« on: Tuesday 14 January 14 19:52 GMT (UK) »
Hello everyone,

I have come across another old photo in my grandmother's collection.

As you can see, its a very bad photo of a picture. So I was hoping some very helpful person could help date the picture? Is the original a painting or a photo? I can not tell. And my third question, how old would you age this lady at? Hopefully someone can offer some suggestions to me, thank you.

Josh

She looks to have the sleeve style called a kick-up which would date it 1889-93.
By your comments I would suggest this is an over-sketched enlargement of the original photo.

Okay, thanks both for your input.

Unfortunately, I have no idea who this is. Hopefully I can narrow it down, but it could be anyone (maybe not even related).

Thanks again
