This is a painting of a doll made from fabric with handmade clothing. The doll appears to be constructed from a wooden core with fabric arms, a green patterned blouse, and a long dark skirt. The face is embroidered with simple features including eyes, nose, and a small mouth. The doll's dress is complemented by lace trim visible beneath the skirt. Its hands seem to be formed from wood, and it is wearing small, detailed shoes.
