Back of the Box and Official Description:

Perhaps it was the early morning sun playing hide-and-seek among the clouds, or bejeweled water reflecting moonlight at midnight that inspired Renoir to capture ordinary nature in his extraordinary, magnificent style.
And, now inspired by the palette of Renoir magic, comes Reflection of Light Barbie doll, simply elegant and also an extraordinary work of art, wearing a gown that captures the essence of dappled sunlight in a field of beautiful wildflowers.
The popularity and appreciation of Impressionistic paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir are enormous and widespread. Born February 25, 1841 he is best known for landscapes that reflected the delicate play between shadow and light, for curvaceous bathing beauties and for portraits of contemporary families. Unlike many other artists of his time, Renoir enjoyed a growing appreciation for his work during his lifetimes. The works he gifted the world continue to inspire new artists, and the artist within all of us.

Encouraged by the soft tonal palette of artist Pierre Auguste Renoir, this third doll in a series inspired by great artists seems to belong in the Louvre, itself. Barbie® doll’s glamorous gown is truly a masterpiece of chiffon in periwinkle blues, powdery purples and pinks — with soft patterns of yellow accents. The neckline of her bodice features delicate beading accented with purple-pink flowers. Her skirt is flipped up on the side, revealing an under-layer of tulle and chiffon with embellishments of blue beads, sequins, and flowers. A beautiful blue chiffon bow decorates the opposite side of the skirt, and she wears matching sheer gloves. Barbie® artfully brings everything together by wearing her brown hair in an elegant up-do accented with flowers, faux pearl drop earrings, a black faux pearl drop choker, and periwinkle t-strap sandals.
