Why You’ll Love It
A quietly romantic and beautifully detailed natural bronze miniature, this retired 2001 Randall Zadar piece titled “Shepherdess” captures an elegant couple nestled beneath a lush flowering tree in a pastoral scene inspired by antique porcelain traditions. Produced as #66 of Zadar’s creations, this tiny sculpture was limited to only 59 examples in this natural bronze finish. Created using Randall Zadar’s meticulous lost-wax bronze casting process, the piece preserves remarkable depth and detail despite its diminutive scale, making it feel like a tiny sculpture discovered from another era.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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