Why You’ll Love It
Hand-painted by Maritza Moran, this original 1:12 scale miniature oil painting is a master-copy interpretation of Pietro Antonio Rotari’s 18th-century portrait commonly known as Portrait of a Russian Girl in a Blue Dress and Headdress. The young sitter is depicted against a dark background wearing a softly rendered blue dress with a white neckline and a distinctive blue headdress, with delicate facial features and warm rosy coloring. Painted in oil on panel, the work is presented in an ornate gold-gilt wood frame with raised decorative corner and edge detailing. It is an elegant piece of miniature fine art for a formal period interior or collector’s gallery.
Perfect for
Rococo interiors, Russian-inspired rooms, European salons, formal drawing rooms, portrait galleries, period bedrooms, and fine miniature art collections.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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