Why You’ll Love It
Hand-painted by IGMA Artisan Ellen Tomy, this elegant 1:12 scale miniature reproduces Constance Shepherd and Her Borzoi by British painter Robert Hermann Sauber (1868–1936). The portrait depicts a stylish young woman in a flowing white gown and broad black hat standing beside her graceful Borzoi dog against a softly painted landscape. The painting is displayed in an ornate Rococo-style gilt wood frame with richly molded scrolling ornament that enhances its sophisticated presentation.
It is especially well suited to an Edwardian drawing room, Gilded Age mansion, Victorian entrance hall, formal portrait gallery wall, or miniature museum.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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