A pleasing scene with lovely bisque doll is beautifully presented.
Arranged upon a velvet-covered base is a charming scene depicting a bisque-headed doll standing behind her lace-covered dressing table with hinged beveled mirror, containing assorted toiletries.
The girl has brown glass eyes, open mouth, nicely painted features, original mohair wig and cork pate, carton torso and legs, bisque forearms, wearing an original rose and ivory sateen silk dress with tiny beads, holding a puff and mirror.
When wound, two musical tunes play, while the girl turns her head side-to-side and nods to look into the hand mirror which she extends while lifting her left hand; meanwhile her right hand appears to dab her cheeks with the powder puff.
Condition: generally excellent.
Marks: SH 1039 7 DEP.
21" (53 cm.) tall.

Leopold Lambert, Paris, circa 1895. From a series of charming vignette scenes presented by the firm toward the end of the century.
