DOLL

Object/Artifact

-

St. Joseph Museums

The image features a detailed, historical-style figurine dressed in elaborate period clothing, including a brown coat with small golden buttons, a patterned waistcoat, and a cream-colored lace cravat. The figure wears dark, knee-length breeches and black shoes with a slight heel and buckle detail. The craftsmanship of the figurine is evident in the fine textures of the fabrics and the attention to detail in the facial expression, which includes prominent features and meticulously painted eyes and lips. A tag attached to the collar with handwritten numbers suggests it might be part of a collection or inventory. The background is a neutral, textured surface, allowing the intricacy of the figure to stand out prominently.
