IT'S VERY HARD TO FIND SUCH A LOVELY DOLL WITH A GORGEOUS FRENCH GESLAND BODY. SHE IS JUST EXQUISITE AT 24 INCHES! WE PHOTOGRAPHED HER MOSTLY WITHOUT HER WIG, ALTHOUGH SHE DOES HAVE HER ORIGINAL WIG, BECAUSE HER BISQUE FULL DOME HEAD BY ITSELF IS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL!!! HER BISQUE IS PINK, VERY FINE, AND LUMINOUS. THE SHOULDER-PLATE HEAD IS ALL ORIGINAL AND PERFECT, AS YOU CAN SEE. SHE HAS LARGE BLUE PAPERWEIGHT EYES THAT ARE ALMOND SHAPED, WITH THREADED IRISES. HER BEAUTIFUL EYES ARE DETAILED AT BOTH CORNERS, WITH DELICATELY PAINTED LASHES, AND A LIGHTLY SHADED AND NICELY MOLDED UPPER LID. HER DELICATELY STROKED BROWN EYEBROWS ARE SET LOW TO THE EYES.

HER MOUTH IS SET IN A PLEASANT SMILE, WITH FULL UPPER LIP AND DISTINCT CUPID'S BOW. THE FULL ROUNDED CHEEKS ARE NICELY BLUSHED PINK. THE SHOULDER PLATE IS PERFECTLY INTACT. UNDER UV LIGHT, NEITHER THE HEAD, NOR THE SHOULDER PLATE HAVE ANY DEFECTS, OR RESTORATIONS. THERE IS A SMALL WIG PULL ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FOREHEAD, AND INHERENT UNEVEN SHADING ON THE BACK OF THE GLOBE AND BACK OF THE SHOULDER PLATE. THERE ARE MOLD MARKS ON THE SIDES OF THE HEAD AND ALSO NEAR THE TOP OF THE GLOBE. THE BODY IS ALL ORIGINAL, GESLAND FRANCE. THE SHAPE OF THE BODY IS QUITE STUNNING. THERE IS A FINELY SEWN CLOTH ‘BELT’ BETWEEN THE UPPER AND LOWER BODY. THE FOREARMS AND LOWER LEGS ARE COMPOSITION, AND IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION. THE DOLL WEARS A COTTON HALF-SLIP FINISHED IN BRIC-A-BRAC, ALONG WITH LACE-TRIMMED UNDERSHIRT AND PANTALOONS. HER WHITE COTTON DRESS IS FLORAL CUT-OUT LACE.
