Plate of Dolls

Jane Iverson

National Gallery of Art

The image features abstract figures arranged in a grid-like pattern. The shapes resemble simplified, doll-like human forms wearing traditional clothing with long gowns and cloaks, along with walking sticks. The composition is reminiscent of marionettes or vintage puppets, with each figure differing slightly in posture and color tone. The uniform design and symmetrical layout highlight an abstract quality reminiscent of handcrafted dolls.
