Determined Looking Hand-carved, Jointed Doll with Painted Face William Charles Palmer painting Some toning to the papers

Some toning to the papers as evident and perhaps a minor loss or two

which to me possess the same sort of charm as old school girl drawings and watercolors of the very same

or near the front door to inspire preparedness for the day

and think it makes the absolute perfect one for a great arm load of wildflowers

so I'm selling as a set

Determined Looking Hand-carved, Jointed Doll with Painted Face William Charles Palmer painting Some toning to the papersThis small, articulated carved doll reminds me a bit of a much larger one (in red high heels!) featured in American Vernacular. This one is far from that one, but I think she's got a lot of character and presence to her, especially in the face between those painted pink cheeks and very blue eyes and red pursed mouth and very long forehead. To me she looks both super wary and intensely determined. Circe 1920s or so I would guess, maker unknown. 8 1 16"
