About the Doll
To really appreciate the lavish
extravagance and excessiveness of this queen that made the French people
so sore during her time, the Marie Antoinette doll was made a little
differently than most of our other dolls. The reworked vinyl doll itself is
approx. 16"
tall, but her long gown extends to over
23". This doll can be moved into a
sitting position, or can be displayed on a tall stand that has been extended
so that her feet do not touch the ground.
Marie's lavish gown is made of golden
floral satin brocade with acrylic pearl and lace trimming and decorated
with lots of roses and bows. A cream-colored silky underskirt peaks out
from beneath. A soft wire frame beneath her skirting holds the shape of
the dress and can be bent to suit any pose. A large golden ornament with strung
acrylic pearls drops at her
waist. She also wears matching pearl jewelry around her wrists and what is left of her
neck.
Her face is hand-painted in a porcelain
tone with brightly colored lips, as was fashionable during the height of
her royal days, and her severed head is attached to her left hand. Her
clouded eyes peer from beneath thinly painted eyebrows. The neck stump
and above the shoulders are both cut cleanly to resemble the wound
inflicted by the guillotine. Blood, spinal column bone, and muscle
tissue is visible from both wounds.
