Why You’ll Love It
Painted in 2017 by acclaimed British IGMA Artisan Andrew Nicholls, this original miniature oil painting is inspired by the marine paintings of celebrated English artist Thomas Burgess (1793–1858). The composition features several traditional Dutch sailing vessels pressing through rough seas beneath a brooding, storm-filled sky, where light breaks through heavy clouds to illuminate the ochre-colored sails. A weathered skeletal beacon rises from the turbulent water.
Tthis original painting is presented unframed, allowing you the opportunity to select a period frame that perfectly complements your own miniature interior or gallery display.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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