Why You’ll Love It
A remarkable piece of storytelling in miniature, this OOAK Gudrun Kolenda character doll captures an unforgettable personality frozen mid-sermon (she hails from the exterior of a bordello scene). Her expressive upward gaze, dramatically sculpted shouting face, and theatrical pose create a scene from a bustling Victorian street. She is costumed in rich layers of silk, lace, feather work and jewelry. She has a number of tiny accessories, including the Bible clutched to her chest, an umbrella, and a handwritten “Judgment day is coming, sinners repent! JESUS SAVES” sign. She is a true conversation piece with narrative charm. Perfect for a village street scene, church setting, historical vignette, or a brothel/bordello display.
