This image showcases a porcelain doll named Lydia Sherman, created by the renowned American artist Edith Towner between 1935 and 1942. The intricately detailed doll wears a stunning watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink on paper costume, reminiscent of the fashionable ladieswear of the 1930s and 1940s. The delicate dress, adorned with floral patterns and lace, is accompanied by a matching lingerie set and a pair of high-heeled shoes. Edith Towner's exceptional artistic talent is evident in the doll's lifelike features, expressive eyes, and the meticulous attention to detail in her clothing. The doll's outfit reflects the fashion trends of the time, with its hourglass silhouette, full skirts, and intricate lace trims. Lydia Sherman, as a period item, is an invaluable addition to any decorative arts, fashion, or doll collection. Her presence transports us back to a bygone era, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and elegance of the clothing and design of the 1930s and 1940s. This precious doll, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to Edith Towner's artistic prowess and her significant contribution to the world of doll-making and art. The Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art recognizes her work as an essential part of American heritage, making Lydia Sherman a cherished and enduring symbol of American art and culture.
