Nut Head Doll #2 1935 - 1942

"Nut Head Doll #2" (1935-1942) is a watercolor by American artist William Frank (1878-1950), depicting a doll in a seated position, with a distinctly exaggerated head, the reason for the artwork's title. The doll is clothed in elaborate garments, and the artist's detailed rendering highlights the materials and textures of the doll's clothing, including the chair it sits upon. The style is characterized by a blend of realism and exaggeration, capturing a whimsical and slightly uncanny quality that is often associated with Frank's work.
