“Paula” is an original Annette Himstedt doll from the Barefoot Children Series Paula is an original Annette Himstedt doll from the Barefoot Children series, 1986. She measures 26 inches in height and is in very good condition. Paula has long straight brown hair and deep brown eyes. Her clothes are original and the expressionless look on her face is one of solitude. The artist signs on the back of the neck that Paula is an original doll by Annette Himstedt, her signature and year of origin, designed in Germany, the name of the doll, and the copyright. Annette’s signature or initials are also engraved on every limb to make forgeries impossible. Paula was purchased from an estate sale so I do not know her complete history. She does come with her certificate but not her original box. Item Details: “Paula” is an original Annette Himstedt doll from the Barefoot Children Series
