This gorgeous dancing girl is by my favorite maker, A.W. Fr. Kister. She is 8 inches tall and is of the superb bisque and workmanship typical of Kister.
Her modeling is magnificent, from her graceful hands to her long lithe legs clad in molded white stockings. She wears a replacement mohair wig and I added the frilled tiny pink and blue tutu (which matches her shoes), transforming her into an exquisite entertainer on stage at some elegant carbaret or nightclub. I wonder how she was originally dressed!
Underneath the base she is incised with the crosshatched "S" mark of A.W. Fr. Kister and "3" over "12040."
