Description
Framed and matted landscape image with a group of dolls placed together amongst trees. Standard large wooden frame, unpainted.

This oddly surreal image is unique in Collier's oeuvre. Contrary to her standard landscape and portrait paintings, here the artist depicts a conclave of dolls in an unidentified setting.
