Comments: Emile Jumeau, from his "series fantastique" created in the early 1890's as part of a very luxury line produced only on special commission or for exhibition purposes; the cost of the 200 series characters was nine times that of a classic bebe. Value Points: an exceptional example of the child with delightful laughing expression, having finest sculpting and lustrous bisque with dewy patina, original body and body finish, superb antique silk gentleman's costume including top hat with original Paris label and signed Alart leather boots.
