Why You’ll Love It
Hand-painted by IGMA Artisan Maritza Moran and dated 2015, this 1:12 scale miniature replicates Pietro Antonio Rotari's Portrait of a Russian Girl in a Blue Dress and Headdress. The young woman is portrayed with a serene expression, rosy cheeks, and porcelain-like complexion, wearing a soft gray-blue dress with a white neckline and a striking cobalt blue headdress accented with yellow trim. The painting is presented in a beautifully detailed gilt wood frame and is signed and dated by the artist on the reverse.
Its elegant simplicity and refined palette make it a lovely choice for a Russian-inspired interior, an 18th-century European manor, a Neoclassical drawing room, or a miniature museum gallery.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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