Vintage Folk Art Textile Doll (likely European)

This is a vintage folk art textile doll, likely handmade, depicting an older woman. The doll features a soft body construction, suggesting it is stuffed with fabric scraps, cotton, or similar soft material. It is dressed in traditional attire, which hints at a potential European origin, possibly Dutch, German, or Scandinavian, although without clearer markings, this remains an educated guess. The doll has a 'face' that is hand-painted or hand-stitched, with discernible eyes, nose, and mouth on a light-colored fabric head, possibly muslin or linen, with what appears to be white yarn or fiber hair styled in an updrawn fashion. She wears a dark long-sleeved top or blouse beneath a reddish-orange vest or bodice, and a long, full black skirt made of a dark, felt-like or heavy woven fabric. A prominent feature is the white, intricately crocheted or lacework apron that adorns her waist, featuring a scalloped edge and floral or geometric patterns. Her hands are made of the same light-colored fabric as her face, and her feet are covered in small, black, boot-like fabric shoes. The doll appears to be in good vintage condition with some signs of age and handling; there might be slight discoloration to the fabric from age. A paper tag with '$-25-' written on it is tied around her neck, indicating a price point. The overall construction suggests a charming, rustic craftsmanship, typical of folk art dolls made for decoration or as souvenirs rather than rough play. The visible craftsmanship, particularly the detailed apron, adds to its character and potential value to collectors of ethnic or regional dolls.
