Dana Bartlett’s watercolor “Doll Bed” (c. 1937) showcases a detailed depiction of a doll bed, highlighting the ornate design of the headboard and footboard. The figure of a doll lying on the bed, covered in a vibrantly patterned quilt, adds a touch of whimsy to the composition. This design captures the intricate craftsmanship and decorative details of doll furniture popular during the early 20th century. Bartlett, a prolific artist known for her watercolor illustrations, skillfully captures the delicate and elegant nature of this miniature piece. The piece exemplifies the artist's talent for capturing both realism and charm in everyday subjects.
