Small handpainted bisque doll, made in Japan in the 1940’s-ish. The arms articulate. Signed on verso Japan. Colloquially referred to as “Frozen Charlotte,” based on a macabre poem by Elizabeth Oakes Smith, A Corpse Going to the Ball, where a girl freezes to death on a sleigh ride after refusing to dress warmly. Good vintage condition with paint loss, as shown.
Dimensions [2.75” long x 1.5” across with arms]
