Doll

Hans Mangelsdorf

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a wooden mannequin designed to resemble a person. The figure stands upright with arms slightly away from the sides, legs together, a rounded facial structure with simplistic and painted appearance, small eyes and a small mouth. It has long, wavy, brown hair flowing past the shoulders. The mannequin is dressed in a long dress with a light color and orange polka dot pattern, puffed sleeves, and a blue waistband. No visible jewelry or additional objects are present. The background is a plain, neutral light brown color, providing no additional context or elements beyond the mannequin.
