Marque to back of head and with pencil mark to sole of right foot, reading ’32, P??miela’ , indecipherable, 22” (56cm) tall. (professional restoration to head and left hand). Albert Marque was a sculptor at the Ecole Francaise and from the end of the 19th century regularly exhibited at many prestigious Paris salons, in around 1915 there was a deliberate movement in Paris away from the traditional pretty Bebe dolls so famously made there. A group of well- known artists, including sculptors, porcelain manufacturers and fashion designers, became involved in creating a more realistic doll, reflecting a more expressive character. The artist doll by A. Marque was first presented at an exhibition by Margaine Lacroix, it is thought that no more than 100 of these dolls where made, most being inscribed by a number, this doll has number 32 in pencil to foot. A rare and important opportunity to acquire one of the world’s rarest dolls that seldom come up for sale at auction.
