19th Century French oval miniature head and shoulder portrait of a lady, in a mahogany and inlaid frame

19th Century oval miniature watercolour, head and shoulder portrait of a gentleman, oval gilt framed

Attributed to William Mineard Bennett, small early 19th Century oil on ivory, head and shoulder portrait of Vice Admiral John Hunter, 4ins x 3ins, housed in an ebonised and gilt frame, with inscriptions verso describing family descent of the painting. N.B. Vice Admiral John Hunter was an officer of the Royal Navy and became second governor of New South Wales, Australia and served from 1795 to 1800All provenance is from the inscription verso. There is something in the background which appears blue and at the bottom appears red /orange but can't get a clear photo of it. It is stated verso that this miniature was painted in 1819 so something in his career probably relates to the background but to what we are not sure.
