Why You’ll Love It
This beautifully executed miniature oil painting by Paul Saltarelli recreates The Girl with a Wine Glass in wonderfully convincing dollhouse scale. Based on the celebrated composition by Johannes Vermeer, the scene captures its intimate interior, figures gathered around the table, patterned floor, leaded window, and luminous color palette with remarkable care. The painting is set within an ornate, aged-finish frame that complements the Old Master subject beautifully. The reverse is inscribed “Girl with a Wine Glass” by Paul Saltarelli, after Jan Vermeer. MMII, documenting both the artist and date.
Perfect for: Fine art collections, Dutch Golden Age interiors, historic dollhouses, miniature galleries, period rooms, and collectors of Paul Saltarelli paintings.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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