"The Doctor" Marionette

Ruth Abrams

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a puppet-like figure of a person standing with one arm raised and the other lowered. The figure has exaggerated facial features, with red cheeks, wide eyes, and curly black hair styled close to the head. The puppet is dressed in elaborate clothing with a purple outfit, frilled cuffs, and trimming, along with matching pants. The background is plain, and there are no visible accessories or objects held by the figure. The artist's signature is present in the bottom right corner.
