Doll

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Doll by unknown artist shows a full-body antique doll with a porcelain or ceramic head. The doll has a hair bun on top of its head and painted facial features including rosy cheeks. The doll's body is covered by a long, off-white dress with a fitted bodice, long sleeves, and a full skirt with ruffles at the hem and waist. A thin white belt encircles the doll's waist. The doll's arms are positioned at its sides. The doll's feet are visible at the bottom of the dress and appear to be wearing shoes. The background is light gray.
