Trust Penny Cooper, the least Victorian of the dolls, to pull that off.

Other toy re-creations of art: "toy tableaux".

NANCY says: You have just gotten an A +on one of my Victorian Art and Lit course assignments! This year I had some excellent artworks responding to texts and images we studied. This Waterhouse was one of our class "focus images." You even included the candles!!!
