Rag Doll

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a doll in a dress. The image depicts a cloth doll dressed in a long gown, with facial features sketched onto its head. The dress is adorned with a pattern of oval shapes. The doll's face shows minimal detail with eyes, a nose, and a mouth. The colors used are muted with the main focus on the intricacy of the dress pattern against the plain background. The style is reminiscent of American folk art.
