For the lovers of the early dolls from Maison Jumeau, we have a special bébé here, just for you! This early Portrait model, who stands nineteen inches tall, is impressed 1 low on the neck of her perfect bisque head. Additional details include pierced ears, lovely coloring with equally lovely painting of lashes, brows and lips. Pale blue threaded paperweight eyes are highlighted by mauve shadow, and her blonde mohair wig is styled in full soft curls. She is on a jointed body of wood and composition, with straight wrists, which retains the original finish with normal, age-related wear.

This well-dressed child wears an elegant ensemble comprised of cream silk with an antique lace overlay and a brown silk ribbon sash at the low waist plus a straw bonnet with a ruched silk lining (splitting to straw at crown.) Underneath, antique underthings trimmed in eyelet lace are worn and cream stockings with black leather shoes (wear to shoes, and a bit large for her feet) complete the classic presentation.
Head Incised: 1 (Low at base of neck)

Measures: 19” tall
