Doll

The image displays a vintage doll known as "Little Girl" by Kestner, featuring a bisque head and a cloth-covered body, dressed in a delicate lace-trimmed white dress and black shoes with pink bows. The doll lies on a rich burgundy velvet surface, and a tag attached to its clothing provides information about its origin. Nearby, a detailed plaque highlights the history of Johann Daniel Kestner Jr., a prominent doll manufacturer from Waltershausen, Germany, who started his business in 1820. His company expanded significantly, employing much of the local population until its closure in 1938, earning him the title "King of Doll Makers."
