Why You’ll Love It
Painted by IGMA Artisan Paul Saltarelli, this beautifully executed original miniature recreates Henry Redmore's tranquil maritime masterpiece A Calm on the Estuary (also known as Shipping in a Calm Sea). A painting based on 19th-century sailing vessels. It features fully-rigged sailing ships resting quietly on calm waters as smaller rowing boats glide across the softly illuminated estuary. Warm evening light washes the pale pink and golden sky, reflecting across the green-tinted water while delicate rigging, colorful sails, and distant vessels create exceptional depth.
Displayed in a classic gilt wooden frame and identified on the reverse by the artist, this investment-quality miniature is a wonderful addition to any fine maritime, historical, or gallery-style miniature display.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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