EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite porcelain doll named Lydia, created by American artist Anne Colman in 1937, showcases the elegance and charm of the 1930s and 1940s. Colman's masterful use of watercolor, graphite, and gouache on paperboard brings Lydia's intricately patterned floral gown to life. The dress, adorned with pleats and a floral design reminiscent of the era, is a testament to the functional beauty of the period's apparel. Anne Colman's Doll - Lydia is a cherished piece of decorative arts and a prime example of the artistic talent that flourished during this time in American history. The doll, with her delicate features and expressive eyes, embodies the grace and sophistication of a bygone era. Lydia's presence in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., as part of the Index of American Design, underscores her significance as a cultural artifact and an important contribution to the nation's heritage. The doll's vibrant colors and intricate patterns continue to captivate and inspire, making her a beloved figure in the world of arts and design. As a named doll, Lydia holds a special place in the history of doll-making and the decorative arts, and her presence in the National Gallery of Art serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s.
