Children's doll showing a naked child, from the Dunois dolls house. 17th century.
The little figures of people in the doll house are dressed in fabrics and authentic costumes of the day. Doll houses at this time were for the wife of the house to play with and display to her lady visitor, rather than for children to play with.
The Rijksmuseum Amsterdam estimates that Petronella Oortman spent twenty to thirty thousand guilders on her model house, the price of a real house along one of Amsterdam's canals at that time. It took nearly 20 years to build.

Thank you Marta for be my new follower. And for everything.
ReplyDeleteOtra vez, me sigue gustando mucho la ropa de esos muñecos. Es fantástico como se vestian en el XVII, XVIII y XIX. Me gusta mucho verlo en la pintura y en el cine ¡Me encanta!
