Josephine C. Romano and Edith Towner

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a doll facing left. The doll is standing upright with a slight forward tilt. The doll has two simple lines for eyes and small floral patterns for cheeks, with no discernible mouth or nose. The hair is painted in a short, curly style in blue color. The doll wears a black bonnet with a large blue bow. The outfit consists of a layered dress with a blue and white plaid skirt over a red skirt with small white patterns. Beneath the skirts, there are glimpses of additional underskirts with floral and circle patterns, adorned with lace trim. The doll wears a white cape with a decorative floral pattern visible on the sleeves. The black shoes are embellished with a yellow chain design. The background is a plain, beige surface. The artist's name, Edith S. Forrer, is inscribed in the bottom right corner.
