"Wax Doll" is a watercolor painting by Mary E. Humes created around 1936. Humes, a prolific artist who lived from 1855 to 1995, is known for her detailed and charming depictions of children and dolls. This artwork showcases a doll dressed in a simple white dress with intricate red trim, standing against a plain background. The doll’s rosy cheeks and curly blonde hair add to the overall charm of the piece, making it a captivating example of Humes's signature style.
