“1832 Doll” by Marcelle Dormoy

From the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Marcelle Dormoy’s creation for the Gratitude Train was designed after a dress by Mlle. Palmyre, whose salon served the ruling class, including Queen Marie-Amélie and Empress Eugénie. The quality of construction is particularly fine and evident in the pantaloons of this doll.
