Gladys Lux China Doll and Watercolor Portrait
This must have been one of Gladys Lux's favorite dolls because in 1964 she painted a water color of her. She is shown here standing by her portrait. This charming doll has a sweet face and a worn body attesting to the hours of fun and play her owners long ago had with her. She was created in the 1870's, a blue eyed, black haired, china head with cloth body.
Her feet are brown kid leather boots and the legs are red stripe stockings. Originally the arms had been of leather but the left hand is now a patched mitt of cloth and the right arm is sewn together with cloth and the hand is missing fingers.
Great care was taken in the sewing of her clothing. All the buttons are neatly in place and the buttonholes are expertly made as is the bonnet and cape. The dress has feather stitching on the sleeves and the apron has a small pocket and lace trim. It is a sturdy utilitarian costume but of nicely matched materials.
For more information on Gladys Lux and the doll collection, check out the Lux Museum.
The doll and her portrait will be on exhibit January 2008 in conjunction with the Lux Center's 20th Anniversary Celebration.
