Only a few examples of this larger-sized doll with exquisite modelling, intense expression, and translucent painting are known to exist, making it one of the rarest in the world.These antique dolls, crafted with remarkable realism, were based on actual children from the period between 1909 and 1912, and they captivated the hearts of adults rather than children.
Expert Kathy Taylor, of Vectis, said: ‘It's amazing that it made that amount of money, but it is a beautiful example of something that is very rare.’
