Why You’ll Love It
Created by renowned IGMA Artisan Paul Saltarelli, this exceptional miniature oil painting faithfully recreates On the Bay after celebrated Dutch landscape painter Barend Cornelis Koekkoek (1803–1862). The composition is filled with remarkable action and detail, from the crowded rowboat battling the surf to the commanding multi-masted sailing vessel and accompanying spritsail craft. Distant ships scattered along the horizon lend depth and realism, while the richly ornamented gilt frame perfectly complements the classic Dutch maritime subject. An outstanding museum-quality work for collectors of fine miniature paintings and historic seascapes.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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