Doll - "Polly"

William Bos

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing in profile facing left. The person has a round face with delicate features and adorned black hair styled in waves, accented with a red headband. The attire consists of an intricately detailed outfit featuring a high-collared, grey checkered jacket with red trim and matching long skirt. The skirt has layers of black lace and red fabric with a swirling pattern at the bottom, and a prominent red ribbon runs down the back, forming a bow-like detail. The person's hands are relaxed by their side. The background of the image is plain and light-colored.
