Andrc mriuiet ro ti'tu.tlItont WSt 23 incontrovertible all these gorgeous dolls were indubitably sculpied by the same hand, so similar was the handling of the sculpture wiih its dazzlinS French style.

The influence of painting on ihe dolls, the subjst of so much heated nineteenth century debate, also ought not to be discounted. AndreThuiuier's are most distincdy producis of their time, h'ith the melting doe eyes and ulka-feminine featurcs considered stylish by all the most a la mode painters ofth. time. Women and girls appre€iated softness of form obvious musculature s,as for men, while women accepted their cuNes fo. the gifts thai th.y werc, and girls longed for the same when they grew !p. ln po.trait after portrait, the curvilinear figure, at least part'ally forced by tight corseting upon women and even girls, contributed to a solidity of form less apparent in portraits of the twentieth centffy, where the modern women aloided the natural feminine body, and embraced the straiSht 1ine.

One of the.rtists whose work is most simila. in appearan.e to the ATs is Adolphe William BouSuereau, a giant ofAcademi€ painting who supported himself in royal style, with an a carer that rivaled that of Carrier'Belleuse. His subje.ts were primarily women and.hildren, and to modern eyes, the paintings can seefr ovcrly sentimental, but Bouguereau was a produ.t of his time, and his time required a degree of mawkishness, a prettification of the subje.i, which he most ably fulfilled. The ATs a.e also products of then time, and they too are deliberately idealized, with delicate noses, large papee'eight eyes and rosebud mouths, allconforming to a standard ofbeauty very different from our own. Two world wars have had an indelible effect on our collective psyche, and our ideas ofwhat constitutes beauiy have at least in part been formed by our surroundings. Andre Thuillier opened his company soon after the end of the Franco-Prussian war, and althouSh many of the artists who fought in that war were aghastat its unprecedenied sava8e.y, it did not have the
