Description

---

The inspiration of this paper doll comes from a lovely painting titled "Portrait of a Young Woman," previously attributed to Jean- tienne Liotard, which is exhibited in the St. Louis Art Museum. This late 18th century European painting is of a young lady of African descent who appears to be a lady of means as evidenced by her dress and jewelry. The book includes one paper doll that stands approximately 8.5" tall, nine dresses, attached stand, and an envelope for the doll and her clothes. PLEASE NOTE: The paper doll and clothes are printed on standard 24 lb paper.
