Early full size wax mannequin by Pierre Imans of Paris. The next description is from the Met Museum NY. "In 1896 Imans began producing unconventional, naturalistic mannequins in wax. Unlike the generic, faceless fashion dolls that decorated shop windows across Europe, Imans’s proxies donned face paint, resin eyes, eyelashes. What is more, they bore names and were photographed as chic celebrity types in marketing catalogues. Imans refused to call his wax figures "mannequins." Their realism and elegant modeling render them veritable sculpture, modern portrait busts that hover fascinatingly between high art and popular, commercial appeal." Offered as seen (head and arms detach).Makers name to side of head. Measures 170 cm high x 48 cm wide x 57 cm deep
