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.
