No.3 - Sand Dune

Miniature framed landscape art print on canvas, vintage-style reproduction of an antique oil painting for coastal, cottagecore, or old world decor.

Nantucket Sand Dune by Abbott Handerson Thayer (c. 1890)
Picture yourself on a Nantucket dune while the breeze turns your hair into a windswept art project. Thayer must’ve had the same salty epiphany, then pinned it to canvas before the tide or tourists could interfere. It’s coastal nostalgia with a raised eyebrow, perfect for anyone who loves the beach but won’t pretend sand is romantic once it’s in the car. Given the natural subject and muted tones, this piece leans into both vintage landscape and coastal aesthetics, with a subtle intellectual edge (especially for those who know Thayer's role in art and early camouflage theory).

This small antique oil painting reproduction is printed on archival canvas and paired with a handcrafted frame made using a mold from a 19th-century antique. Finished in-studio to capture the texture and patina of a real vintage frame. All the beauty of an heirloom without having to inherit it. Available in aged gold or classic black, depending on your mood (or your wall).

Sized in our Small format, this piece makes a quiet statement on a shelf, gallery wall, or anywhere that needs a little mood and a lot of character. It arrives in a custom gift box that includes a removable art card from my curated collection of early 20th-century Swiss lithographed trading cards. On the back: a short message tied to the image - something between a fortune and a pep talk from the ghosts of a Swiss art collective. They’re collectible, slightly mysterious, and full of charm. Designs vary and yours will be chosen at random unless you request a specific one. See the last photo for the full collection. Inside the box, you’ll find a picture pin and an artist card with all the painting’s details.
