Pa. German Chalkware Bloomer Girl

Mina Lowry

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a figure of a person wearing traditional attire. The subject is wearing a wide-brimmed hat adorned with a red ribbon and a coat-like garment that flares out from the waist. The clothing is predominantly beige with red and yellow accents. The figure holds a bouquet of flowers in one hand. The material of the sculpture appears to be ceramic or porcelain with a smooth, slightly glossy finish. The figure stands upright with long, flowing hair under the hat. The sculpture is rendered in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the clothing folds and facial features, suggesting it represents a human figure in a standing pose.
