Doll and Dress

Mary E. Humes

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a paper doll with a blue dress. The drawing shows a paper doll figure with a stylized representation of a person, wearing a long blue dress with full-length sleeves and decorative trim near the hem. The face has bold features, including red cheeks and lips, and short, curly black hair. In the top left corner, there is an outlined sketch of the dress pattern. The paper doll's feet are visible and depicted in black. The drawing has a simplistic and charming quality typical of early 20th-century design.
