Dancing Doll

Mina Lowry

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a man in formal attire, resembling a military or formal uniform with shoulder epaulets. The color scheme is mostly dark, with black or dark blue for the suit and brown for the epaulets and shoes. The figure is made of wood, giving it a rustic texture. It is carved in a stylized and simplistic way, with blocky limbs and a defined face. The man stands upright with arms by his sides, presenting a composed and stiff posture.
