Vintage Lenci-Style Cloth Souvenir Doll

This is a mid-century souvenir cloth doll, likely of European origin, possibly representing a Dutch or fisherman figure. The doll features a pressed felt or stiffened fabric face with hand-painted facial features, including side-glancing eyes and a small red mouth. He is dressed in traditional folk-style clothing consisting of a blue and white checkered short-sleeved shirt, voluminous black felt trousers (reminiscent of 'shoon' or traditional Dutch breeches), a bright red felt scarf, a yellow waist sash, and a black felt cap. The feet are encased in simplified brown painted wooden or composition clog-style shoes. Physically, the doll shows signs of age-related wear, including significant surface grime, lint accumulation on the dark felt trousers, and slight fading of the textile dyes. There is visible spotting/soiling on the light-colored fabric of the arms. The construction suggests a mid-20th-century production date, approximately 1940s-1960s, intended for the tourist trade. The craftsmanship is of moderate quality, utilizing a combination of machine stitching for the garments and hand-painting for the characterful expression.
