Why You’ll Love It
Painted by accomplished miniature artist Maritza Moran in 2015, this elegant 1:12 scale oil painting faithfully recreates Portrait of a Lady (La Comtesse) by renowned French Academic painter Gustave Jean Jacquet (1846–1909). The sitter is portrayed in three-quarter view, her auburn hair swept into an elaborate Victorian-inspired coiffure adorned with delicate pink blossoms. Her richly detailed pink gown is trimmed with lace and accented by a dramatic sage-green bow across the bodice, while a ruffled pink choker completes the fashionable ensemble. The painting is presented in a handsome gilt frame with ribbed detailing and a softly aged finish, making it an exceptional focal point for a dollhouse portrait gallery or period-inspired interior.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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