Why You’ll Love It
This is a remarkable miniature portrait of Empress Elisabeth of Bavaria (“Sisi”) by acclaimed IGMA artist Masaya Okada. Sisi is one of history’s most enchanting and tragic royal figures. This replica in miniature was painted as an homage to the Viennese portrait by Georg Raab. The Empress is shown in her celebrated coronation dress, with a delicate lace veil, diamond crown, and the iconic white bow at her bodice. Set within a custom gilt wood frame, imagine it in a dollhouse drawing room, portrait gallery, or on a paneled wall beside antique furnishings.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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