Condition: generally excellent, few typical rubs. Comments: attributed to the Munich Art Dolls studio of Marion Kaulitz whose art reform designs created a public stir when first exhibited at the Hermann Tietz department store in Munich in 1908. Value Points: very rare model from this studio whose dolls were individually sculpted and painted, many on commission from European royal families; the original finish is well preserved and the highly characterized features are extraordinary.
