Rare Musical Automaton of a Lady with Parasol by Renou, c. 1890 With unmarked Jumeau-type bisque head, closed mouth, fixed blue paperweight eyes, pierced ears, original curly brown hair wig, bisque hands, holding a red silk parasol, on blue velvet-covered base with three-cam going-barrel movement playing one air, in well-preserved primrose satin costume decorated with silk-covered balls, glass beads and fragile crepe inserts, height 15 1/2 in. (40 cm.), 19 in. (49 cm.) with parasol raised, with Renou key and stop/start. The lady looks from side to side, lifts the parasol with her left hand and appears to put it up with her right, then lowers her right arm. After a few moments, the action is reversed, she raises her right arm, collapses the parasol, then lowers both arms together. - An ingenious automaton by Renou featuring a beautiful French bisque bébé, original costume and trimmings.
