This miniature portrait on porcelain is signed "E M S". This may be for Max Sinz, as on the reverse of the portrait there is a printed label "T H. LICHTENBERG, MAX SINZ - DRESDEN". The miniature appears to be a mourning portrait, but the sitters are unknown.
In Colliers' Guide to Dresden for 1910 there is a listing under ART-SHOPS for — Max Sinz, Mosczinskystrasse 1. From various Internet references it seems Max Sinz retailed various art works, including KPM plaques and art prints. Whether he actually painted the miniature or just commissioned it for sale in his art shop is unclear. 1051
