Standing an impressive thirty inches tall, details of this exceptional example includes a perfect head that is marked Bru Jne. R. 14. This young gentleman has fixed, blue paperweight eyes with nicely painted lashes and brows, a closed mouth featuring beautifully modeled lips in a gorgeous pink hue, plus pierced ears and a brunette human hair wig pulled back.
On a jointed wood and composition body with bisque hands (repair to finger), the paint finish is original and the body exhibits normal wear. Monsieur is styled as a well dressed gentleman from an era well before his manufacture - perhaps this is a clever masquerade costume? The festive hat and costume, which includes a red velvet frock coat and silk charmeuse britches is lavished with a wealth of velvet, lace, silk, jewel like buttons and metallic trims. Antique red velvet slippers with gold trim complete the look -- which is sublime. Head Incised: Bru Jne R 14
