The address 'Wulfhagestr. 27, Bruges' adorns the head of the doll, while the name 'M. Perquy' is presented above the figure in a cartouche topped with a saddled horse. Additional drawings of a knife grinder, a small boat, and a violin enrich the design, with the text "Reflet" in the upper corners, "by appointment" in the lower left corner, and contact numbers in the right corner.
