Tete Jumeau poured bisque head with flat cut neck socket, bisque shoulder plate and bisque hands, wooden carved stationary legs standing on a gold velvet covered base. The doll holds a butterfly net with a blue butterfly with her right arm which is actually supported by a metal rod from the torso. Her left arm balances a parasol with flowers and butterflies suspended on wires flitter around the left arm. When a brass key protruding the right of the base is wound and a lever is released, the Butterfly girl displays several movements to a musical air. Her right arm moves up and down several times rapidly as if trying to catch a butterfly, as this is happening, her head tilts up and down and rotates right to left. At the same time a butterfly suspended on a wire in front of her is moving back and forth and trembling on the end of the wire. What marvelous sensation it must have been to Victorian admirers!
