GREENAWAY, KATE. Original watercolor of girl in a long dress, blue and grey cape and hat, posed against a chair. 275x202 mm; 10 3/4x8 inches, image, on board; taped to mat with hand-painted border of blue and gold, and "Kate Greenaway" calligraphed in center. initialed k.g. lower left. Np, likely 1890s

  • Notes: a beautiful watercolor of a lovely young girl with blue eyes and rosy cheeks and lips, elegantly posed with her fur muff and elaborate ribbon-tied chapeau. Typical of Greenaway's paintings of the 1890s of girls in dresses, and very similar in style to the cover image of Susan Ruth Thomson's "Kate Greenaway: Catalogue of the Kate Greenaway Collection, Rare Book Room, Detroit Public Library," Detroit, 1977 (#331-334).
