Why You’ll Love It
This beautifully detailed 1:12 scale little boy doll is a handcrafted creation by miniature artist Marina Suzdaltseva. Sculpted from clay, he features delicately hand-painted facial details, expressive eyes, and short, neatly styled brown hair. His carefully tailored outfit includes cropped brown knit trousers, a cream-colored buttoned vest, and a textured, tweed-style jacket with miniature black buttons and a folded collar. Black lace-up shoes complete his traditional ensemble. The doll is slightly posable, with arms that can be raised and legs that move at the hips, allowing for seated or standing-assisted displays. He was not designed to stand independently, although he can balance with assistance.
Perfect For
A traditional dollhouse nursery, child's bedroom, Victorian or Edwardian-inspired family scene, Christmas morning vignette, or a collection of handcrafted artisan character dolls.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
