20" (51 cm). Pressed bisque socket head with very plump facial modeling, large blue glass paperweight inset eyes with spiral threading, dark eyeliner, painted lashes, mauve blushed eye shadow, brushstroked and multi-feathered brows, accented eye corners, shaded nostrils, closed mouth with accented lips, prim little lips with little dimples at the edges, blonde mohair wig over cork pate, French composition and wooden eight-loose-ball-jointed body with metal hands. Condition: generally excellent, faintest horizontal line on right cheek only visible with light inside the head appears original. Comments: Petit & Dumoutier, circa 1882.
