The following eleven lots are needle-sculpted cloth dolls made
by Dorothy Wendell Heizer. Born in 1881 in Philadelphia,
Dorothy Heizer attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine
Arts where she studied art, portraiture, and sculpture. In the
early 1920s, while raising her young family in Essex Fells, New
Jersey, she began making dolls. In this endeavor, all the
elements of her formal art training were called into play. Her
process included the development of a copper wire skeletal
armature to enable posing of the body. This form was
padded and covered in a fine crepe, as was the head. Her
placement of the neck and head forward of the shoulders
was innovative and gave an accurate human presentation.
Her fine shaping and needle-sculpting of the features created
unique portraits which were complemented by her delicate
painting of the facial features with watercolors. All of these
artistic elements received her unparalleled attention to detail.
Her subjects were varied and included historical personages,
royalty, or subjects taken from notable paintings, such as
Gainsborough’s Blue Boy. A fine record of her work was
maintained by the family, and is recorded in Helen Bullard’s
1972 publication, Dorothy Heizer, The Artist and her Dolls.
Heizer’s doll-making spanned four decades. In 1962,
recognized as a legendary doll-maker, she became a charter
member of NIADA, the National Institute of American Doll
Artists. The dolls offered here are from the Wells family
collection, garnered through the 1940s and 1950s, and noted
by Bullard as one of the largest privately held collections. This
is the first offering of these exceptional dolls. Interesting
correspondence from Dorothy Heizer to the family also gives
insight into Heizer’s perceptions of her work; copies will be
included with the lots. See color plate inside back cover.
