We are delighted to present an exquisite and substantially sized Bébé François Gaultier “scroll model”. This très jolie fille may have taken a tumble from her maman’s arms at some point, as she does present an almost imperceptible hairline to her upper left forehead that runs approximately 2” from the rim of her head towards the center of her left eyebrow.
Details include expressive, set brown paperweight eyes with soft mauve shadow, full, evenly painted lashes, delicately painted lips (with tongue tip visible), pierced ears with pearl earrings, plus an antique brown human hair wig styled in ringlet curls and topped with a fine cotton bonnet.
She is on a fully-jointed wood and composition body that presents normal, age-related wear throughout (particularly to lower arms, repair to right pinkie finger.)
Mademoiselle wears a cotton dress in a pink and white stripe, featuring a ruched bodice, bretelle style shoulders and a full skirt with a ruffled trim along the top of hem. She also wears an antique slip in fine cotton. Delicately crocheted cream stockings and black leather child’s shoes complete her presentation. Head Incised: FG (within scroll mark)
Measures: 30 1/2” tall
