Description

A bisque-head girl with brown glass paperweight eyes, closed mouth, brunette mohair wig, carton torso and legs, and bisque forearms, is standing upon a velvet covered wooden base. She wears an aqua silk dress with lace overlay, straw hat, and silk shoes, and she holds a silk-edged fan and flowers. The head, made by Jumeau, is marked Depose Tete Jumeau Bte SGDG 4. A paper label under the base lists the song as La Rosiere Mazurka. Movements: the doll turns her head from side to side, nods, fans herself and sniffs the flowers. By Leopold Lambert, France, circa 1890. 20" (51 cm). Four movements. One tune.
