"The Doll (Maquette for The Doll's Games)" is a 1938 work by Hans Bellmer, known for its unsettling depiction of a female doll figure. The doll's contorted limbs and the ominous rope form a visually disturbing composition that is characteristic of Bellmer's surrealist art. This piece explores themes of manipulation, control, and the objectification of the female form through the unsettling lens of a dismembered doll. The work is a powerful example of Bellmer's fascination with the body and its representation in art.
