Description
17" (43 cm.) Standing upon a velvet-covered wooden platform with wooden ball feet is a bisque-headed doll with blue glass eyes,slightly parted lips,teeth,nicely painted features,brunette mohair wig,and silk and lace costume. She holds a biscuit in one hand and a hoop in the other. In front is a wooden balancing stool,and a paper-mache dog posed on back feet with extended front paws. Movements and Music. The girl lifts the hoop several times as if urging the puppy to jump through. Ignoring the hoop,he waits until the girl lifts her other hand,offering the biscuit. Then he inclines forward,extending paws,all the while his little tail,peeking from beneath his skirt,is wagging excitedly back and forth. Music plays.Louis Renou,Paris,circa 1895 with bisque head by Jumeau.
