Antique miniature portrait of a man with order medal

Antique miniature portrait of a man with order medal, this miniature portrait of a man depicts a nobleman with his order badge of honor. He has a scar on his face which proves him to be a nobleman. Scars were a simple of man hood at that time. He also is wearing a very decorative costume with fur collar many white buttons and a rope with tassels. This miniature dates from the late 18th to early 19th century. The frame measures four and one half inches by five and one half inches. The painting which appears to be on vellum measures 2 and one quarters inches by 2 and one half inches. Excellent original condition with strong colors. The jacket is wonderful blue and he has a thick head of red hair which is unusual to see in a portrait miniature.

Thank you for your quick reply. I am really shocked at the price. I knew many people here wanted it, but probably figured I didn't know what I had and they wanted to buy it for nothing. I am glad I held on to it.
Thanks again!
