Description
11" (28 cm.) One piece all-bisque figure of seated baby with hands clasped in front of drawn-up knees and head turned to the right. The figure is wearing a sculpted cap with sculpted rick-rack trim, and sculpted baby pants with impressed pique design. The face has deep intaglio sculpting of laughing features with narrow side-glancing eyes, laughter crinkles around the eyes, and closed mouth modeled as though open with beaded teeth. Condition: professional retouch to finish on right knee, otherwise excellent. Marks: Heubach (sunburst) 4869. Comments: Gebruder Heubach, circa 1910. Value Points: rare large figure with wonderful facial expression that enhances the amusing concept.
