Doll with China Head

Edith Towner

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman standing, slightly viewed from the back. Her head is turned slightly to her right, revealing her facial features. She has fair skin with pink cheeks and dark eyes. Her black hair is styled neatly into an updo. She wears a long dress with horizontal and diagonal blue, beige, and white stripes on it, with blue spherical accents on the sleeves and back. The high-necked dress has full sleeves and a frilled hemline. The woman wears dark shoes. In the background is a sketched figure of the woman in the same dress, showing a lace pattern underneath. There is a signature in the lower right corner that reads "Lulu Davies." The background is plain and off-white.
