Description
24" (61 cm.) Bisque socket head, blue glass sleep eyes, dark eyeliner, painted lashes, rose blushed eye shadow, lightly feathered brows, accented nostrils, modeled closed mouth with suggestion of painted teeth between the shaded lips, blonde mohair wig over plaster pate, early composition and wooden eight loose ball-jointed body with straight wrists, lovely antique costume. Condition: generally excellent. Marks: 14. Comments: Kestner, circa 1882, the doll closely resembles the early bebe of Leon Casimir Bru whose market the company sought to capture. Value Points: the rarity of the doll is rivaled by its excellence of modeling, quality of bisque and painting, original body and body finish.
