Princess Playing the Harp Coloring Page

About this page

Seated on a round cushioned stool, a princess turns her face toward us with a pleased smile while one hand plucks the strings of a small harp that rests against her right side. The harp has a curved neck with a scroll at the top, a straight column on the right, and a set of straight strings across the open frame. She wears a crown with three points, puffed sleeves, a fitted bodice and a long gown that falls over the stool and spreads out at the bottom. Her wavy hair flows over her shoulder down to the waist. The stool has turned legs that you can see on the left. Strings, scroll and gown folds give a nice variety of shapes. This medium page suits kids who like music and storybook scenes.
