Wax Doll, c. 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of American childhood in the 1930s, captured by artist Mary E Humes. This exquisite pencil drawing and watercolor print showcases a meticulously crafted wax doll sitting gracefully with her bare feet on display. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every fold of her dress, every strand of hair, and even the delicate features on her face are brought to life. The doll's innocence and charm are palpable as she gazes directly at the viewer with wide eyes. Her white clothing adds an ethereal quality to the composition, contrasting beautifully against the soft colors used in the background. It is evident that Humes poured her heart into creating this piece, as it exudes both artistry and nostalgia. This artwork serves as a window into a bygone era when dolls were cherished companions for children across America. The Wax Doll represents not only a beloved toy but also embodies an important part of our cultural heritage. As we admire this work today at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , we can't help but be transported back to simpler times filled with imagination and playfulness. Mary E Humes' "Wax Doll" reminds us of the power that art holds - its ability to preserve moments from history while evoking emotions that transcend time itself.
