Doll's Dress c. 1938

"Doll's Dress," a c. 1938 watercolor by Lillian Causey (1855-1995), depicts a headless doll wearing a brown dress with a fitted bodice and a full skirt. The dress is detailed with a lace collar, button closures, and ruffles on the sleeves and skirt. The artist's signature appears in the lower right corner. The image is rendered with realistic detail, emphasizing the fine fabric textures and pleating. This artwork reflects Causey's interest in fashion and textile design, and offers a glimpse into the styles of the late 19th century.
