Doll: "Mary Scotia"

Mary E. Humes

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body portrait of a figure resembling a painted doll. The doll has plump cheeks, small red lips, black wavy hair, and wide-open eyes with dark outlines. It wears a white dress with patterns, short puffed sleeves, and a red beaded necklace. The doll's arms are a muted brown, matching the face's tones. It sits with legs extended, wearing green shoes. The background is plain, and the name "Mary Humes" is inscribed in the corner.
