Carved Wooden Doll c. 1940

This carved wooden doll was created by American artist Elmer R. Kottcamp around 1940. The doll is depicted in a standing position with its arms outstretched. The artist’s attention to detail is evident in the doll's simple yet expressive features. The carving style is reminiscent of folk art and highlights the natural beauty of the wood. This work is a fine example of Kottcamp's artistic interest in crafting wooden figures and exploring the essence of human form through simplistic representations.
