Victorian Lady Sculpture for Cindy's SHOW AND TELL FRIDAY

Sculptures of Victorian ladies call to me like sirens in the dead of night.

There's something about their beauty, frozen in time, that makes my heart beat just a tad faster.

When I saw the young girl pictured here today, she just about cried out for me to take her home with me. So I did. After such an appeal to the heart, how could I possibly have refused?

Delicate and demure, she fits in perfectly with the Victorian decor in our living room.  I love her rather chiseled nose and kind of serious facial expression. If her outfit were in color, what shade would it be? Maybe turquoise with gold trim?

Perhaps her name is Victoria. Quite prim and proper, she is content being placed near my library books and I'm content with Victoria.

I like to imagine she was fashioned after a real, live young woman. Who was she and where did she live? What was her life like and was she part of some royal family? Was she kind or snooty?  (Oh, I hope she was sweet and darling.)

See how my mind runs? It's kind of like a washing machine, around and around it goes. ha!
