This photograph of a Best Friends Club Ink doll appears to be taken indoors at an art museum. The doll stands before a modern art poster with the name "Ruth Stone" inside identical side-by-side cream-colored circles on a blue background. The doll's back is to us, so we can clearly see that her elastic shorts have one working back pocket, and her close-in-back shirt has several tiny buttons running down the back closure area of the short-sleeved shirt.

She wears glittery pink high-top sneakers with the whole ensemble and her hair is pulled up in a pony tail. She's looking closely at a poster on the wall of the diorama in which she stands.
