Why You’ll Love It
Signed and dated 2001 by the late IGMA Artisan Paul Saltarelli, this magnificent miniature oil painting faithfully recreates Jessie Arms Botke's White Peacock with Cockatoos and Flowers. It features an elegant white peacock perched upon a classical carved stone urn overflowing with brilliantly colored blossoms. A cockatoo sweeps dramatically across the foreground while another quietly rests below, all in a richly layered garden setting. It is displayed in an impressive antique-style gilt wooden frame richly embellished with deeply molded scrolling ornamentation along every side, perfectly complementing the luxurious subject.
This gallery-sized work makes an extraordinary focal point for a grand dollhouse drawing room, conservatory, music room, or private art 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
