Queen Elizabeth
Standing at 39", Queen Elizabeth 1 is an impressive figure in the grandiose style of her time. Her head and hands are sculpted paperclay, with a cloth body. She has glass eyes and her hair is red mohair done up in an elaborate style, studded with pearls and fancy trim. The Queen's gown is velvet and taffeda, adorned with pearls and jewelry. She wears pearl earrings and a pleated neck piece. A ribbon at her waist holds her embellished feather fan. Her shoes are velvet with button detail. She stands on a painted wooden base. I enjoyed the many hours that I spent on this one. The Queen is a one of a kind, signed and dated.
