Description
23" (60 cm.) Bisque socket head with very plump cheeks, small brown glass sleep eyes, dark eyeliner, short curly lashes, short feathered brows, rounded nose, closed mouth in pouting expression, shaded lips, dimpled chin, brunette mohair wig, composition and wooden ball-jointed toddler body with side-hip jointing. Condition: generally excellent. Marks: K*R Simon & Halbig 115/A 60. Comments: Kammer and Reinhardt, from the firm's art character series, circa 1912, inspired by the 17th century sculpture of a young boy by the Flemish artist, Francois Duquesnois, which was enjoying a revival at the time; the model was marketed as Phillip. Value Points: a most endearing example of the favorite model, with very choice bisque, painting, original toddler body with original finish, and wonderful antique costume.
