This is an amazing piece of art that has been handed down in the family for at least 3 generations and unfortunately one of those generations dropped her while dusting her off. She was such a special piece to our family that someone glued her back together as carefully as they could, but she sadly could use a professional restoration. The obvious issues are the breaks at her ankle and one foot, the back of her kerchief and the end of the tied bundle, and the repair line where her head has been glued back on. From the front she still looks really good. We don't have the missing piece of the kerchief or the bundle end as they were damaged so long ago. Please examine the photos carefully.
She is hand-painted bisque with tiny details on her clothing and a very serene expression on her face. She is carrying a baby who's face is completely hidden by her coat and she is also carrying a bundle in a white delicately "embroidered" cloth. There is a matching figure in the Hillwood Estate, Museum and Gardens' collection and they titled it "Cruel Lot", but we're not sure if that was the title from the factory or one that she was given at the museum. She is in very good condition with no chips or issues that we've been able to find. There are photos from every direction and there are more photos available should you need them. She stands 9 1/4" tall and is marked on the base (photo 12) as being from the Gardner factory in Russia. She's dated somewhere between 1880 and 1917 based on the mark. We will double-box her for shipping, with insurance, to be sure that she gets to her next location safely. We have one other matching figure which is in excellent condition and is currently up for auction as well. She is the same figure but with different details and colors painted on her. Thank you very much for checking out our auction. Again, if you have any questions or need additional photos, please do not hesitate to ask. HOWEVER, we will not end our auctions early with Buy It Nows or under the table purchases so please do not email asking us to do that.
