Pia's Blog: "... The full creative power of the House of Jumeau is evident here. Pierre Francois Jumeau developed this portrait face for his fashion dolls. His son Emile later transferred it into the first Bebe portrait. The absolute perfection of the expression, the almond-shaped eyes, the elegant pallor of the early bisque porcelain and the delicate artistic painting demonstrate Jumeau's skill. The exceptional size enables the full expression of the slightly dreamy, ladylike expression and makes this doll a rarity. "
