Who Influenced Who?

This very rare boudoir doll is marked "Lilith." The magazine cover "Delineator" was created by artist, Helen Dryden. The resemblance is very striking.

I posted in past blogs about these dolls and their possible Erte connection, but these drawings by Helen Dryden challenge this, OR perhaps, the Lilith doll was inspired by both artists? Click the two links to view the two blog posts. Link 1, Link 2

Thanks, Edna, for sending these photos and for providing information about Helen Dryden and her connection to, or influence of, the style of your fabulous boudoir doll. Edna mentioned she wonders who came first - did the doll's creation come about with Helen Dryden or did the doll influence Dryden's artwork?

I wish there was information about this doll that we could find out about the company, Lilith. Maybe, that would help answer the question.
