Full description

A painted, cartoon-style shooting-gallery scene under a red-and-white sunburst. Across the top, a large arched title in cream-white block capitals with a heavy black shadow reads KEWPIE DOLL, with a smaller yellow cursive signature-style word above it. Upper left is a tall shelving unit of a toy stall, its shelves crowded with small dressed dolls: a jester doll in a red-and-yellow cap, a doll in a yellow dress, a dark-haired doll in white, a tin soldier, a red-spotted rag doll and other tiny toys. A royal-blue arched panel fills the upper right, carrying a frieze of white silhouetted running-and-dancing baby figures, and below it a shelf of small painted target dolls. Mid-picture, left to right: a man in a cap and blue shirt shouldering a long rifle, a red-haired woman in blue holding a doll, a man in a green-striped singlet, a grinning man in a red cap, and a blonde woman in blue dungarees cradling a blue-clad doll. Two cream score panels sit low left, one labelled SCORE To BEAT over dark reels reading 1100, one showing white reels and a comma. A row of red, orange, yellow and green circles in gold rims runs along the bottom edge.
