Bisque socket head, blue glass paperweight inset eyes in smaller eye sockets, painted lashes, rose blushed eye shadow, brush stroked and multi-feathered brows, accented nostrils and eye corners, closed mouth with defined space between the outlined lips, separately applied pierced ears, antique brunette human hair wig, French composition and wooden fully-jointed antique body with straight wrists. Condition: generally excellent. Marks: (very faintly impressed Depose Jumeau on head, and red artist stamp) Jumeau Medaille d'Or Paris (body). Comments: Emile Jumeau, circa 1885, this being a very early example of the Depose Jumeau model that was only made for one or two years only. Value Points: wonderfully expressive features enhanced by very choice bisque and painting, unusual applied ears on this model, original signed Jumeau body with original finish, wearing matching antique boy's mariner costume to #84.
