Baltimore Doll

Walter Praefke

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-length depiction of a woman standing with her body slightly turned to her left. She has an upright posture with her left arm relaxed at her side and her right arm held in front of her, resting on her waist. Her facial features include a fair complexion, a noticeable blush on her cheeks, and dark eyes. She has dark brown hair styled in an intricate updo. She is dressed in a floor-length gown made of striped fabric in shades of blue and white, with an off-the-shoulder neckline and a fitted bodice. The dress features additional detailing such as ruffles and pleated trimmings. She holds a small fan in her right hand. The background is plain and neutral in color.
