Artist, American, 1897 - 1994

The image depicts a full-body wooden doll with articulated joints. The doll is sitting with its legs extended and arms resting on its thighs. It has carved facial features, painted blue eyes, a small mouth, and dark hair painted back smoothly. The wood is painted with a skin tone and remnants of paint give the doll a clothing-like appearance. Visible joints are located at the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, allowing flexibility and movement. The background is plain and neutral.
