A most unusual art form, this precocious terra-cotta figure of a girl holding a doll is framed in a natural nautilus shell, resting on a free form terra-cotta base. Signed "Reguay' on the reverse. It is in excellent condition with some minor chipping on the base which is consistent with its age. It appears to have been made C. 1900 and measures 7 1/2" tall.
