This is an original miniature watercolour painting by Jenny Chapman. It shows the distinctively shaped island of Eigg – one of the Small Isles or Inner Hebrides – sandwiched half-way between sea and sky, seen looking west from the coast near Glenuig on a late afternoon in early April. The peaks of the mountains on the Isle of Rum can be seen faintly in the distance on the right. In the foreground the Sea of the Hebrides is dark and moody, with the choppy waves just beginning to break into white horses.

The painting is presented in a hand-made wooden frame with real miniature glass and is ready to hang, complete with a gold-plated chain.

This painting is a unique work of art and no prints of it will be made. It is initialled on the front and signed both on the back of the painting itself (not visible when framed) and on the archival quality backing board, which is sealed to the frame in the traditional way with miniature paper tape. A unique code number is marked on the back, and a signed certificate of authenticity with this code number is also supplied.

This miniature work of art is a collectors’ item intended for collectors of miniatures and for dolls house enthusiasts. Please note that it is not a toy and is not intended for children.
