This Victorian theme vignette was a commissioned piece.

Photo shown below was used to try to capture some resemblance of little girl in portrait. Santa is dressed in a 3/4 long caped coat in black/brown tweed wool, and black wool pants.He is tipping his hat to greet the little girl. His black top hat was hand-made with black wool and has a hand-stitched grosgrain ribbon around brim. He also wears a whiteshirt with dark red ascot at neck. Santa is seated on a wood & cast iron park bench under a lighted Victorian lamppost. The little girl is wearing a dark red velour dress trimmed in antique gold/red trim, also matching hooded cape trimmed in dark brown mink, with mink fur muff and handmade black leather boots.

Her accessories include a tiny book called "Little Dorritt" from the Charles Dickens series, with real print inside, a pair of ice skates, and a tiny collectible porcelain doll from England. Santa is seated with his two puppies, a Jack Russell terrier and Black Scottie.

This One of a kind Santa was a commissioned piece. He is a large 45" Santa. This Santa has a very kind expression with clear blue eyes (glass). He is wearing a beautiful long coat in beige (very soft) raised chenille. The coat has a long cape and is trimmed with beige/brown tipped real Fox fur with matching fur hat.

This was a commissioned piece. Mo is approx. 24" and girls 16" and 12". Human hair wigs on girls, wool beard on Santa. Rabbit fur on Santa.

My client wanted a special piece to hand down to her grand-daughters when they get older. This Santa "Mo" comes each year to their home at Christmas and she wanted them to have something to remember the special times at Grandma's. I am not a portrait doll artist, but I wanted to try to capture some resemblance if I could for her.
