Portrait of Doll Makers

American 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a seated woman with curly dark hair and a dark dress, holding a large doll in her lap. Beside her stands a man with short dark hair, wearing a light-colored shirt with overalls. The man has one hand resting on the chair and is holding two dolls in his hand. A basket at the woman's feet contains more dolls, with some placed in front of it. The background features painted trees and foliage, creating an outdoor setting.
