The first of a new range of dolls dressed as historical figures!
An 18" portrait doll of Queen Anne Boleyn
Based upon the 'Moost Happi' Medal & the Nidd Hall Portrait
She is an impressive 18", specifically re-painted, bisque porcelain doll. Anne is dressed in an original historical costume - from an originally cut pattern - crafted from a cotton velvet over-gown, flock taffeta under-skirts, embroidered taffeta under-sleeves, lace cuffs, pearl trim and diamante embellishments.
Her face and upper torso/arms have been re-painted to create a portrait doll of the tragic second wife of King Henry VIII and mother of Queen Elizabeth I; who was beheaded, after being falsely accused of adultery and high treason in 1536.
She comes with her own original stand.
