There's nothing quite like a dash of mid-century mystery with a splash of whimsy-and this vintage mounted print delivers just that. Titled "Doll with Clown" by Italian artist Jean Calogero, this charming piece was part of the SM1311 series and evokes a surreal nostalgia that dances somewhere between playroom innocence and carnival dreamscape.
đź‘’ The wide-eyed doll in her blue-bowed bonnet gazes out with delicate melancholy, surrounded by festive florals, curious clowns, and glossy marbles. It's a quirky, almost cinematic scene, mounted on board and ready to hang. If you're a fan of vintage kitsch, outsider art, or old-school gallery vibes, this one hits all the right notes.
