Why You’ll Love It
This beautifully executed 1:12 scale miniature by David Tinnon reproduces Claude Monet's celebrated 1872 Impressionist landscape The Basin at Argenteuil (Le Bassin d'Argenteuil). The peaceful riverside scene features sailboats resting on calm water beneath expansive clouds, with a tree-lined path, distant bridge, and soft, atmospheric brushwork that perfectly captures Monet's fascination with light and color. The painting is displayed in an ornate gilt wood frame with richly detailed Baroque-style scrollwork.
It is especially well suited to a French country manor, Impressionist-inspired gallery, Victorian drawing room, or miniature museum collection.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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