Why You’ll Love It
One of history's most beloved royal figures comes beautifully to life in this extraordinary 1:12 scale miniature of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, affectionately known as "Sisi." Created by acclaimed IGMA Artisan Annemarie Kwikkel of Anne Marie Dolls, this elegant one-of-a-kind hand-sculpted clay doll faithfully recreates the Austrian empress in the legendary gown that forever defined her image. Sisi is depicted wearing her iconic diamond star gown, inspired directly by Franz Xaver Winterhalter's celebrated 1865 portrait. The breathtaking dress is fashioned from layers of delicate white silk gauze sprinkled with countless tiny gold stars. Draped gracefully around her arms is a soft white stole. Her famous chestnut hair is styled in the elaborate braided coiffure adorned with tiny sparkling star jewels are woven throughout the intricate braids. She is in a fixed-pose.
