The facial modeling and painting is top-notch, offering a pretty doll face with flawless bisque in a powdery smooth bisque complexion. The blue glass eyes sleep well. The body has minor touchups, hands repainted, but otherwise retains much of its original shiny finish and original stamp. The costume has wear, tears on the sleeves, and repair. The antique wig needs a recap (see photo). One strap on the shoes is also damaged, and the bonnet has some wear. Overall, this is a beautiful angelic antique doll!
