    Description

    A wonderful authentic American folk art penny doll dated to circa 1800-1801.  10 1/2-inches tall. Most likely
    Maine origin.  She is carved in jointed pine wood.  Her face with red lips and piercing gaze is hand painted.
    Dark hair, white gloves and stockings are also hand painted. The lovely smock she wears is hand sewn with
    tiny stitches and embellished with a fine lace ruff, sleeves and hem.  In original as found condition with some
    light wear.  Very good overall.  This rare early survivor would be neat in any doll or Americana collection.
