Doll c. 1936

Frances Lichten's "Doll" from c. 1936 is a watercolor painting depicting a wooden doll in three different views. The doll, likely from the 18th century, is dressed in a detailed gown with intricate pleats and ruffles. Lichten's meticulous attention to detail captures the textures of the wood and the delicate folds of the fabric, creating a sense of realism. The three-quarter view of the doll in the center allows for a full appreciation of its elegant form, while the side and rear views provide a more complete understanding of its construction. This artwork is a fine example of Lichten's talent for capturing the beauty of everyday objects through precise observation and artistic skill.
