Made by Gaston Decamps in Paris around 1925. This stylish young lady is dressed for the cold and carries a fur muff. She shrugs her shoulders repeatedly and then removes her right hand from the muff and brings it up to her lips. She blows several kisses to the viewer and then replaces her hand inside the muff. This requires a particularly challenging set of arm movements.
On view at The House of Automata museum, Scotland.
