The doll wears her original brown velvet fitted jacket and net-over-muslin skirt, simple hand-stitched undergarments. Condition: generally excellent, original finish well-preserved. Comments: Germany, circa 1840, the doll is suggestive of the rare early Rococo series created by Muller at that time. The aristocratic lady with unique hair has hand-painted decorative hair comb, necklace with brooch, and elaborate earrings, her body is unique and original. The doll, from the original collection of Estrid Faurholt was featured in her 1967 Book of Dolls and Dollhouses, page 22.
