Tapping on her tambourine, Ms. #513 is a sultry sultana from William Goebel's series of harem ladies. She has lost her original costume of silk and brocade, but with a body like this, she certainly doesn't need clothing to win over her pasha's heart! I have sort of a soft spot for Goebel's gals. Although their bisque and modeling is often of the same high quality as those lovely ladies produced by Galluba and Hofmann and A.W. Fr. Kister, their faces lack the ethereal loveliness of Galluba or the striking beauty of Kister. If Galluba, Kister, and Goebel were sisters, Goebel would be the one described as "but she has a great personality." That said, this tempting tambourinist does have an especially pretty face. Any bathing belle doing something other than lounging about and looking lovely is scarce and desirable, and one as big and beautiful as this undulating odalisque even more so. She is 5.5 inches long and is incised under her replaced mohair wig "1745" and "C."
