Why You’ll Love It
Hand painted by IGMA Artisan Paul Saltarelli in 1986, this miniature replica faithfully recreates Jean-François Millet's iconic 1857 masterpiece The Gleaners. This piece is a Limited Edition, this piece being #1 of 5 ever produced. It depicts three peasant women gathering leftover wheat after the harvest, one of the defining images of French Realism. It is presented in a simple stained wood frame that complements the humble character of the original painting.
Its understated wooden frame and timeless subject make it especially well suited to a French farmhouse, country cottage, rustic manor, Victorian estate, or 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
