Why You’ll Love It
Few miniature artists capture quiet childhood moments as beautifully as Irina Martin of Germany, and this enchanting one-of-a-kind little girl is a wonderful example. With a faraway gaze and pursed, slightly parted lips, she appears to be gently singing, whistling, or simply lost in a daydream.
Hand-sculpted and meticulously hand-painted from clay, she wears a burgundy dress with delicate lace trim at the collar, cuffs, and underskirt. Her softly curled blonde hair is topped with a petite ivory ribbon bow. White knit socks and classic black shoes complete her outfit. Held tightly against her chest is her beloved well-loved teddy bear (also included). She is sculpted in a fixed seated pose, making her ideal for displaying on the edge of a bed, bench, sofa, in a nursery chair, window seat, or sitting on the step of a staircase.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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