The second, from our historical themed three doll collection. Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots.

 

A large 17" hand-dressed portrait doll of the tragic Mary Queen of Scots

Mary Stuart is a bisque porcelain doll, dressed in historical costume inspired by her National Portrait Gallery portrait.

She was Queen of France, Scotland and laid claim to the throne of England. After nineteen years of imprisonment she was beheaded, on the order of her cousin Queen Elizabeth I, after she was found guilty of high treason.

She wears an original costume design, crafted from black cotton-velvet, taffeta, lace, pearl trim and diamante embellishment. She sports a net gauze veil and a silver crucifix hangs from her waist. Under her over-skirts she wears petticoats and pantalets. 

She comes with her own original stand.

All our dolls are dressed using traditional costuming techniques (where possible) but in miniature. Each doll generally takes several days to dress and are highly detailed. 

This doll is now for sale of eBay
