Why You’ll Love It
Painted by Bridget Voth and dated 2016, this elegant miniature oil painting faithfully recreates Albert Lynch's celebrated Belle Époque painting Le Bal Masqué (The Masked Ball). It features a radiant young woman dressed in a luminous white gown trimmed with cascading ruffles and soft feathers, her auburn hair crowned with a delicate hat adorned with pale green ribbons. Standing just behind her is a mysterious companion wearing a black masquerade mask and dark evening attire. In the glowing background, elegantly dressed revelers dance at a grand Parisian masked ball. It is beautifully presented in a refined gilt 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
