A striking example of this French bebe! Exceptional modeling with intense blue paperweight eyes, light shadowing above eyes, nicely painted facial details and fine quality bisque overall. Affixed to her original kid body (patching, detached arm & lower legs) with a taped Bru paper label on chest, she retains her original wig and marked Bru shoes. Dress and hat are of vintage fabric in fair condition and of more recent fabrication. Marked in neck socket and shoulder plate "1/5". Overall a very nice example with the kid body requiring repairs. Head and shoulder plate appear to have no hairlines, eye chips, or other damage. Poorly replaced thumb on right hand, extremely small faint red line under nose.
Item Dimensions: 17" T.
