DOLL

Object/Artifact

-

St. Joseph Museums

The image showcases a detailed doll dressed in historical attire, featuring a brown coat over a tan waistcoat and breeches, complemented by a cream-colored cravat; the doll's head is adorned with a dark tricorn hat, and its feet are fitted with black shoes with buckles. Its face is intricately painted, suggesting a portrayal of a historical figure from the 18th or early 19th century, capturing period-appropriate clothing and a contemplative expression. The doll is suspended against a textured white background, with a small tag tied around its neck that likely provides information about its origin or identity. The craftsmanship is notable in the realistic representation of textile folds and the era-specific design elements, reflecting a dedication to historical accuracy in miniature.
