(ca 1920) and most likely by Jumeau. Her face painting is expertly done.She has her original set brown glass eyes in their original plaster.

It's in great condition, well strung and has a wonderful finish.
It appears to have been professionally repainted. Her clothing has been replaced and is newer except for her flowered jumper. That appears to have been made for her sometime in the 1950's.
