Description
12" (30 cm.) Bisque socket head with slender elongated facial shape, painted blue eyes, black upper eyeliner, single stroke brows, accented nostrils, closed mouth with very full lips in pensive expression, brunette mohair wig, composition and wooden ball-jointed body, antique costume. Condition: generally excellent, few typical wig pulls. Marks: K*R 107 30. Comments: Kammer and Reinhardt, circa 1910, "Karl" from their art character series, based upon an original 1898 sculpture by the famed Berlin artist, Lewin-Funcke who Reinhardt had commissioned to create his series of art dolls. Value Points: very fine detail of sculpting, remarkable for this size, is enhanced by finest bisque and painting, original body and body finish.
