Lovely Antique Goebel Marie Antoinette Goebel created a wonderful line of "Portrait" half dolls inspired by famous ladie...s of history. This is Goebel's "Marie Antoinette of France." She poses regally, a closed "golden" fan in her delicately modeled hands, with slender outstretched fingers in excellent condition. Styled in the popular fashion of the18th century court, she wears her hair in spiral curls, powdered and piled high, topped with a purple bow and three colorful feathers; a style she herself introduced to the French fashion scene. Her BURGUNDY bodice, trimmed with beaded ruffles in light blue, plunges daringly low, then tapers to a tiny corseted waist. Tight quarter-length pagoda sleeves spill into flowing lace frills at her elbows. She is beautifully modeled.
