The Adornment HN-3015 figurine is part of the illustrious Gentle Arts collection, which was the second series of crinoline ladies released by Royal Doulton worldwide. The Gentle Arts series represents six types of artistic expression enjoyed by 18th century ladies. This collection was created to provide a romantic insight into the charm of a bygone era, capturing the leisurely pursuits of proper English gentlewomen. The first collection, Lady Musicians, was eagerly sought after by artistically sensitive collectors. Following this success, the Gentle Arts series introduced an original theme that showcased the aristocratic ladies of the day who found many fruitful ways to fill their days. Their artistic expressions flourished in gentle hobbies such as embroidering, painting, music, and writing. This lovely lady figurine is seen choosing just the right ribbon to accentuate her colorful dress. Unlike other series, each figurine in the Gentle Arts collection has been created in vellum bone china and comes with a coordinating accessory associated with her particular skill.
