Jenny Nyström – Girl's Portrait with a Porcelain Doll, Postcard

A formal portrait of a young girl in a blue dress with a red waist sash and red stockings, standing before a carved wooden chest — on the chest sits a porcelain doll in white; a ball rests on the floor. The composed, still setting and painted studio background place this card in a tradition of European childhood portraiture popular in the early 20th century. Attributed to Jenny Nyström, it shows a quieter, more ceremonial register than her festive illustrations. A collectible piece for vintage portrait lovers or a thoughtful gift card from the Jenny Nyström collection.
