Why You’ll Love It
This hand-painted 1:12 scale miniature by IGMA Artisan Ellen Tomy reproduces John Singer Sargent's celebrated 1883 portrait Margaret Stuyvesant Rutherfurd White (Mrs. Henry White). The painting depicts the prominent Gilded Age socialite standing in an elegant white evening gown, holding a fan and opera glasses before dramatic drapery and a richly upholstered chaise lounge.
The artwork is presented in a tall wooden gallery frame with a decorative pierced border, making it an impressive focal piece for a dollhouse museum gallery, a Gilded Age drawing room, a stately entrance hall or a formal Victorian parlor.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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