     This Girl presents my vision of XVIII century, which was named "Gallant Age". At that time women often were in power. For example, several autocratic empresses ruled one after another in Russia. In Europe it was time of great Austrian empress Maria Theresia. She had an influence on policy of the whole Europe thanks to conjugal units of her daughters. A miserable fortune of her most famous daughter, "Queen of Rococo" Maria Antoinette, ended in that time too.

    The doll was made under impression of my voyage to Austria and Venice. Venice had influenced on Austrian culture without doubt, especially because Venice was under power of Austria in XVIII century. In doll's costume I have used colors and cuttings, which was characteristic for military uniform of that time.
