Why You’ll Love It
This exceptional one-of-a-kind (OOAK) Frida Kahlo miniature doll was handcrafted by Spanish miniature artist Carolina Vilar. Sculpted from clay, the celebrated Mexican painter is portrayed with her signature unibrow, floral headdress, and colorful traditional-inspired clothing. Her outfit features a richly embroidered black skirt with vibrant orange trim, a burgundy blouse, layered gold-toned jewelry, and iconic red boots sculpted from clay. Fine facial detailing and individually painted features capture Frida's distinctive appearance. She holds a miniature paintbrush and artist's palette, both included.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
