Barry III In the 1870s, Jumeau & Cie. began to produce dolls with porcelain heads made in house rather than bought from a supplier. This model is considered one of the most beautiful Bébé dolls of its time. She was first introduced by Emilie-Louis Jumeau in December, 1879. It was the first doll modeled by a renowned sculptor, Albert Ernest Carrier Belleuse. He reportedly used a painting of the 4-year-old Prince Henri de Navarre (1553-1610), later King Henry IV of France, as inspiration. This doll was the first to have complex glass paperweight eyes the “new” human eyes, giving it a more lifelike appearance. The ears were also modeled separately, then applied to the bisque head before firing.
