Why You’ll Love It
Capturing the innocence of childhood with remarkable realism, this delightful little boy is an exceptional doll by renowned miniature artist Irina Martin of Germany. Her dolls are treasured by collectors worldwide for their lifelike faces and meticulous craftsmanship. This sweet young boy has short blonde hair, blue eyes, and a calm, smiling disposition. He is dressed for everyday play in a cozy aqua hooded knit cardigan with tiny brass buttons, realistic cuffed blue jeans, and brown leather boots. His relaxed pose gives the impression that he's just paused from play to see what has captured his attention. His arms can be moved slightly, while the remainder of the doll is permanently posed. Although a toy boat appears in some reference photographs, it is not included.
Ready to display in a nursery, playroom, garden, classroom or playground scene.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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