The bodice is fitted to a triangle bust placed on the point and the hips are widened. The so-called pagoda sleeves are stopped at the elbow and decorated with 2 ruffles. The fabric is decorated with fabric and/or painted flowers and plants. The doll is wearing a small stylized capeline hat. The dress is reinforced with a blue lining. The girl's body (bust, arms, hand and head) is made of papier-mâché. It rests on a wooden tripod. Traces of wear and small losses. Unrestored. Very good condition of presentation.
