Description
This hand-painted resin figurine is Justina, a lady sat on the floor, leaning back on one arm with her other hand raised in the air as if caught mid-conversation. She wears a long gold gown with a fine glitter finish that catches the light along every fold, a dropped waist tied with a bow at the hip, a long string of pearls and a jewelled flower on her headband, all in the spirit of a 1920s evening. Her skin is painted in soft ivory tones and her hair in a warm strawberry blonde, with a touch of red at the lips. She measures 17cm tall, 23cm across and 10cm deep.
Because she reclines rather than stands, Justina suits a low surface: a mantelpiece, a dressing table, a bookshelf or a deep windowsill, where her trailing gown can spread along the front edge. At 10cm deep she fits a narrow shelf without crowding it, and at 17cm tall she sits comfortably beneath a mirror or a row of pictures. Her pale champagne gold works well in rooms dressed in cream, ivory, blush or soft grey, and she looks just as much at home beside gilt frames and glass vases as she does on her own. She will appeal to anyone with a fondness for vintage fashion, and she is equally happy in a bedroom, a living room or on a hallway console.
Justina is made of resin and painted by hand, so the shading on her gown, the pearls at her neck and the sheen of her sash all carry the gentle character of brushwork. Care is simple: dust her with a soft dry cloth or a soft make-up brush, and keep water and household sprays away from the painted finish. As a gift, she looks lovely nestled in ivory tissue. At home, set her at one end of a shelf with books at her back.
