Why You’ll Love It
This exquisite hand-painted 1:12 scale miniature by IGMA Artisan Betsey Bradley reproduces Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun's celebrated 1786 masterpiece Madame Vigée Le Brun et sa fille. The tender self-portrait features the French artist warmly embracing her young daughter, a graceful and intimate portrait. Presented in an ornate Baroque-style gilt frame with finely sculpted scrollwork.
This painting makes a beautiful focal point for a French Rococo salon, Neoclassical drawing room, aristocratic manor, or miniature museum gallery wall.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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