Attributed to circa 1950s–1960s, she measures approximately 20 cm tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer painted face features dark brows, blue-green eye detailing, rosy cheeks and pink lips. Brown hair frames the forehead and continues into a long braid down the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLace Headdress and Braided Hair\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite lace surrounds the head and falls across the shoulders in a broad decorative layer. Floral motifs, open mesh and a looped scalloped edge create contrasting textures against the dark bodice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe headdress rises at the back, giving the silhouette additional height. It is described here as Breton-style; a specific Bigouden costume identification has not been independently verified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe long brown braid is a particularly noticeable feature in the rear views. Its woven strands extend over the checked skirt, with some loose fibres visible around the hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eColourful Layered Costume\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fitted black bodice has short sleeves finished with narrow white lace cuffs. The skirt combines dark teal, muted pink and black checks in a full, gathered shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA larger checked apron introduces brighter red, turquoise, blue, purple and cream. Its broad pattern contrasts with the smaller checks beneath, making the layered construction easy to appreciate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small natural-coloured woven basket hangs from the right arm. Black shoes appear beneath the skirt, and a black wire display stand supports the figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin and Period\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench manufacture is supplied by the owner, who reports a “Made in France” marking. That marking is not shown in the provided photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe circa-1950s–1960s date remains approximate, and no maker is identified. The stand is included, although its originality to the doll has not been established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood to very good overall vintage condition is reported. The clothing retains strong colour, while the black bodice shows visible surface wear and lighter patches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lace has some age-related irregularity and loose fibres. The brown braid remains present, with a slightly tousled appearance in the close-up views.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe basket and wire stand are present in the photographs.
