About this work

This print shows eight paper dolls dressed in different outfits. Some wear traditional robes with bold stripes, while others have Western-style jackets and hats. Bright colors like red, yellow, and purple stand out against the light background. Accessories like umbrellas, gloves, and bags are scattered around. The dolls are arranged in pairs, suggesting how clothing might be mixed and matched. The print looks like it was made to be cut out and played with. If you like this, check out cross-hatching next.
