EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolour and graphite on paper rendering by American artist Edith Towner depicts Delight Bates, a charming porcelain doll from the 1930s. Delight wears a vibrant, intricately designed dress that embodies the essence of the era's fashion. The dress features a full skirt with a floral print, a fitted bodice adorned with lace and ruffles, and a matching pair of pantalettes or pantalets peeking out from beneath. The doll's undergarment is a common accessory for antique dolls, adding authenticity to the overall presentation. Delight Bates, named after the popular actress Delight Bates, was a cherished collectible during the 1930s and 1940s. The doll, with her rosy cheeks and expressive features, exudes a delightful charm that transcends time. This artwork by Edith Towner not only showcases the doll's appearance but also highlights the intricacies of the dress and the undergarment, providing a glimpse into the fashion trends of the period. Edith Towner's (1897-1990) masterful use of colour and attention to detail in this artwork make it an essential addition to any collection focusing on American decorative arts, fashion, or dolls. The artwork is a testament to the artist's skill and her ability to capture the essence of a bygone era. This piece can be found in the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., showcasing the rich heritage of American art and culture.
