Wooden Jointed Doll

Jane Iverson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a doll wearing traditional clothing, including a bonnet and a long orange dress with a black bodice. The color palette includes shades of orange, black, white, and light brown or peach. The doll is positioned upright in the center of the image, facing slightly to the left, with its feet pointing downwards. The dress spreads out around the doll, giving a sense of fullness and volume, while the bonnet frames the head.
