About MeBisque 'Parian' type doll with a cotton stuffed body. The head features blue tinted eyes and highly coloured cheeks. The moulded hair is painted blonde and is arranged in vertical sausage curls all around the head. The arms and legs are unglazed and the black painted boots have small heels. The doll wears its original white cotton underwear. The black and purple dress is probably a later addition.
