Here we have a delightful piece of primitive folk art in the form of an oil painted cloth doll. Details include blue eyes, deeply blushed cheeks and a head of hand painted silver grey hair - perfect to play the role of “Grandmother” in a “Little Red Riding Hood” vignette.
Her head and body are comprised of stiffened, oil painted cloth with a hollow, papier-mâché feel, while her dainty feet are painted with spat style shoes. She wears a charming handmade dress in fine, chocolate hued cotton voile with French ribbon trim, sewn in pantalettes and an underskirt in a pastoral print cotton.
Measures: 19” tall
