Why You'll Love It
This real oil painting is called "Mother Love," an exquisite piece of art captured stroke by stroke in miniature by the talented fine artist, Deanna Karras. This oversized statement piece of artwork, masterfully replicated after the Chinese artist Wai Ming, depicts a truly heartwarming moment: a mother cradling her sweet infant child, whose plump arm rests limp and peaceful. The mother, wearing a traditional hat, provides loving shade, symbolizing comfort and protection. Signed and dated 2018, and presented in a custom wood frame.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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