EDITORS COMMENTS

This exquisite artwork, displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, takes us back to a time when dolls were cherished companions for children and symbols of motherhood. The doll depicted in this print showcases intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail. Dressed in patterned clothes with a delicate bonnet adorning her head, she exudes innocence and charm. The use of watercolor gouache and graphite on paperboard brings out the vibrant colors that bring this doll to life.

The doll serves as a reminder of the nurturing nature inherent in motherhood and highlights its significance within society. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to a simpler time when toys held great sentimental value for both children and adults alike.
