Provenance Collection of Norka Díaz Mendez (acquired directly from the artist). Acquired from the above by the present owner. La niña de la muñeca de palo is a photograph of profound emotional depth within Alberto Korda's body of work. The image portrays a young girl holding a rudimentary wooden doll, captured in a moment of stillness that conveys innocence, fragility, and early emotional awareness. The close framing and soft tonal gradation create an intimate and timeless atmosphere, presenting childhood stripped of artifice and transformed into a symbol of tenderness and quiet dignity. Far removed from the iconic photojournalism for which Korda is internationally known, this work reveals his more personal and humanist gaze, focused on the everyday and the essential as eloquent testimonies of lived experience. Alberto Korda is regarded as one of the most important Cuban photographers of the twentieth century, celebrated both for his historical photojournalism and for a parallel body of lyrical images devoted to portraiture and daily life.
