"The Umbrellas " MAGNIFICENT 3 DOLL COLLECTORS SET EXTREMELY RARE! The United States Historical Society selected the painting for the doll collection because of its wide appeal and the interesting figures, especially the mother with her two daughters. The mother, Sophie, (22" tall) wearing a stunning feathered hat, holds her umbrella as she looks at her daughter, Suzanne (12"). This impish young lady wears a straw hat decorated with blue feathers. She wears a lacy blue dress and a navy blue coat and holds her hoop and stick, ready to play again as soon as the rain stops. Marie, (16") the older sister, protectively holds on to Suzanne's left arm. A soft summer hat highlighted with flowers covers most of Marie's face and much of her flowing red hair. Only a genius of Renoir's talent could have created such a scene. The Society invites you to have an opportunity to receive the " Umbrella Dolls" set. Collectors who have seen and own some of the finest dolls in the world appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that go into the creation of a fine doll. You want the clothing to be historically accurate, with the best materials, and expertly sewn. You want the shoes to be cobbled with the proper fastenings and buttons - not plastic disappointments.
