This is an original miniature watercolour painting by Jenny Chapman. It shows a view overlooking Castle Stalker in Appin, Argyll, seen from a low hill just to the north on a beautiful midsummer day. Castle Stalker dates back to the 15th century and was the traditional stronghold of the Stewarts of Appin, although it was owned by the Campbells at times. Behind the castle the famous sea loch, Loch Linnhe, stretches away towards the ocean. The Isle of Lismore can be seen in the distance in front of the misty hills of Morvern. Castle Stalker stands on a very small tidal island at the mouth of tiny Loch Laich, which you can see to the left.

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.
