Dedicated to my dear friend, Miss Waterman.
Look at her charming little face. So delicate and lovely!
One-of-a-kind
c. 1790
16” High
The stripped blue silk pierrot is trimmed with black silk fringe, vintage white embroidered cotton ruffle and vintage flowers. The petticoat is made from a fine vintage floral embroidered cotton and is worn over a lawn petticoat, shift, linen stockings and tied silk garters. The modesty (scarf) is silk chiffon. The shoes are black kidskin with brown leather soles.
Also included with this figurel is a large brimmed black silk taffeta hat trimmed with blue silk ribbons and vintage flowers, a classic overstatement that was fashionable at the end of the 18th century.
The intricate sausage-roll hairstyle is created in blond mohair. Vintage pearls dangle from just below the ears and the glass eyes are blue.
