EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases "Polly," a charming porcelain doll created by the skilled hand of American artist William Bos in approximately 1937. The doll, dressed in a beautiful red gown with intricate lace detailing, exudes an air of elegance and charm typical of the 1930s and 1940s. The dress, with its full bustle, is a testament to the functional and decorative aspects of fashion clothing during this period. Polly is not just a doll but also a hand puppet, making her a unique and intriguing piece of art. The doll's black color and contrasting red dress add depth and visual interest to the composition. Bos masterfully captured Polly's essence using watercolor, graphite, gouache, and pen and ink on paperboard. Polly is an excellent representation of the rich heritage of American decorative arts and design. She is a named doll, adding a personal touch to this work of art. The doll can be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where she continues to inspire and captivate visitors. Polly is a cherished piece of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive documentation of American-made decorative arts from the Colonial period to the 1940s. This photograph serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion, design, and art of the 1930s and 1940s in America.
