Had we lived over a century ago, a Sunday stroll through the park would have been an afternoon of fine entertainment. Besides enjoying flowers in bloom, fanciful gazebos and well-tended lawns, Sunday afternoon strolls were often a fashion parade for style-conscious women of all ages.
Now, you can escape to the loveliness of a gracious Victorian garden with a new Thomas Kinkade collectible that magnificently showcases his beloved “Garden of Prayer” artwork. For the first time, this serene vision of nature is uniquely showcased on a three-dimensional, Victorian-inspired figurine. Premiere Issue in the Thomas Kinkade Garden Gala Heirloom Porcelain® Figurine Collection, “Grace in the Afternoon” brings the loveliness of a Sunday stroll in the park to your home in a refreshing new way.
From her matching parasol to her softly flounced hemline, this fashion-forward beauty evokes the ultra-feminine styles of the late Victorian era. Her puff-sleeved, bow-tied afternoon dress features a rosette-trimmed overskirt that ideally accents Thomas Kinkade’s artwork. Following the flow and drape of the skirt as well as the shape of the parasol, Kinkade’s artwork is an in-the-round feast for the eye. A vision in springtime colors, this well-dressed lady is perfectly accessorized in a graceful picture hat trimmed with luxurious marabou feathers atop her authentic Gibson Girl hairstyle.
The “Grace in the Afternoon” figurine is meticulously hand-crafted and hand-painted in soft-sheen and porcelain bisque glazes. It is lavished with 22K gold on the hat, dress, jewelry and parasol handle. A choker-style necklace makes the inspired finishing touch.
Actual size is about 7¼ inches high (18.4 cm).
