Why You’ll Love It
Hand-painted by IGMA Fellow Melissa Wolcott in 1992, this 1:12 scale miniature reproduces Young Girl with Dog, after the 1604 portrait by Johann Cornelisz van Loenen. The charming Dutch portrait depicts a young child dressed in elaborate 17th-century attire with a lace ruff, embroidered bodice, coral necklace, and white apron, holding the leash of a small white dog while carrying a basket of fruit. The painting is presented in an ornate distressed gilt wood frame that beautifully complements its Old Master subject.
It is especially well suited to a Dutch Golden Age interior, Jacobean manor, Tudor or Elizabethan room, formal portrait gallery, or miniature museum.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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