Description
19" (48 cm.) Arranged upon a velvet-covered base is a charming scene depicting a bisque-headed doll standing behind her lace-covered dressing table with hinged beveled mirror, containing assorted toiletries. The girl has blue glass eyes, open mouth, nicely painted features, brunette mohair wig, carton torso and legs, bisque forearms, wearing rose and ivory sateen dress, bonnet, and holding a puff and mirror. When wound, two musical tunes play, while the girl turns her head side-to-side and nods to look into the hand mirror which she extends while lifting her left hand; meanwhile her right hand appears to dab her cheeks with the powder puff. Condition: generally excellent, one finger tip chipped. Marks: 1300-6 (doll). Comments: Leopold Lambert, Paris, circa 1895. From a series of charming vignette scenes presented by the firm toward the end of the century. Value Points: pleasing scene with lovely bisque doll is beautifully presented.
