Ms. #412 studies her face intently in her hand mirror, holding her powder puff at the ready in her right hand. Clearly beauty is a serious business for this bisque belle! From the German firm of Hertwig and Company and made out of fine precolored bisque, she is 3.5 inches long and high. The realistic modeling is excellent and demostrates the high caliber of artists retained by this company. Like many Hertwig products, some of the features are cold painted; you can see slight wear to her hair color and her lips probably once were painted. I think Hertwig's fine bisque nudes are often undervalued by collectors. There are no marks.
