Why You'll Love It
An extraordinary piece of miniature art, this is a perfect hand-painted replica of a 17th-century Dutch Floral Still Life, "Flowers in a Rummer with a Tulip on the Top," After Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder. This is an original REAL oil painting on synthetic ivory, meticulously brought to life, brushstroke by brushstroke, by the famed artist, Fatima Dona of Spain.
The painting captures a bouquet of colorful flowers in a variety of hues and textures, gracefully arranged within a clear glass vase. A single, delicate butterfly visits the blooms. The work of art is elevated by its original, custom sculpted and painted gold gilt frame, also hand crafted by Fatima Dona.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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