About gDonna The photo is my son and myself. Now days you can get a photo made to look old like this one. This photo was taken when this was the new look.

Hi Cathal, I cannot date portraits or really date anything only show you what to look for in hand embroidery. You can send a photo to my email, it is listed in the contact section on the upper portion of my blog if you are using a computer. I can ask a few people that I know that work with antiques but still not sure if they would know but worth a try. Just contact me that way and I can show it to ask a few people. What a wonderful piece to have, someone must have been very talented to embroider a portrait. Donna
