This elegant lady is an English gentlewoman known as Lady Phillips. She appears in the animated television show Liberty's Kids.
Lady Phillips lives in England while her soldier husband serves in America. But unlike some Britons, Lady Phillips is good friends with Benjamin Franklin and certainly does not favor coercive measures towards the colonies.
Lady Phillips' daughter is the sometimes feisty Sarah Phillips (who was featured on Redcoats and Ruffles at http://redcoatsandruffles.blogspot.com/2018/01/sarah-phillips.html). It is unknown whether Sarah was named for her mother.
(Sarah is a recast Marx "Cilia" figure, giving some idea of scale between her and Lady Phillips)
Lady Phillips was previously featured on this blog as a work-in-progress (see http://redcoatsandruffles.blogspot.com/2019/01/lady-phillips-work-in-progress.html). Her base is marked "(c) Disney, C.I.I., Made in China". I have no idea what company CII is; however she is an excellent match to other 54mm figures and worth tracking down.
Painted with a mix of enamel and acrylic paints; varnished with Mod Podge.
Lady Phillips prepares for a visit to a wealthy friend or neighbor and bids you good day.
