EDITORS COMMENTS
This wooden doll, created by American artist Lionel Ritchey around 1940, is a charming relic of the 1930s and 1940s. The doll, now a period item, is a testament to the artistic ingenuity and craftsmanship of the era. Ritchey's Wooden Doll is a unique work of art that defies categorization, blending elements of decorative arts, design, and fine art. Measuring approximately [insert dimensions here], this unclothed wooden figure is intricately detailed, with expressive features carved from the wood and brought to life through the artist's skilled use of watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink on paper. The doll's plain, simple design, reminiscent of folk art, is both functional and visually striking. The Wooden Doll was created during a time when the United States was emerging from the Great Depression and on the brink of entering World War II. The doll's absence of clothing and its unadorned simplicity may reflect the economic and social realities of the era, or they may be a deliberate artistic choice. Regardless, the doll's understated beauty and timeless appeal continue to captivate viewers today. This Wooden Doll by Lionel Ritchey is now part of the prestigious Index of American Design collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it is preserved for future generations to appreciate as an important piece of American heritage art.
