Why You’ll Love It
This 1:12 scale character doll by Irina Martin is an older gentleman settled into a wonderfully relaxed seated pose. His hand-sculpted face features realistic age lines, a prominent nose, thick gray eyebrows, and a calm, slightly weary, everyday personality.
He is completely bald and dressed in casual at-home clothing: a light blue and white plaid button-down shirt worn open over a white ribbed undershirt that has ridden up to expose his rounded belly. His red, gray, and black plaid pajama pants are tied at the waist with a simple white drawstring, and he is completely barefoot, with sculpted toes and realistic ankle detailing. One hand rests casually across his stomach while the other falls naturally at his side, making him especially easy to place in a favorite miniature chair or recliner.
His wife counterpart is listed separately.
Perfect for
A living room, bedroom, den, bachelor apartment, family home, humorous domestic vignette, or character doll 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
