Wax Doll

Mary E. Humes

National Gallery of Art

There is a doll with a cloth body and a painted face, wearing an off-the-shoulder, light-colored dress. The color palette is mostly neutral with shades of beige, off-white, and soft pinks, complemented by the doll's brown hair and subtle blue eyes. The doll is positioned in the center of the image, with the dress spreading out slightly at the bottom and the doll's face directed straight.
