Comments: Leopold Lambert who commissioned an exclusive series of character faces from Jumeau to enhance the activity of his automata; this face is the rare model 211. When wound, the doll turns her head from side to side, then alternately lifts the broken-head paper mache Polichinelle she holds in her right hand, and the handkerchief in her left hand as though to wipe away tears. Comments: all-original automata with rare character face wearing rose silk dress with lace, ribbon and sequin trim, matching cap, original Polichinelle costume, original tune label on base.
