About

Why this artist matters now

Jessie Willcox Smith painted portraits and domestic narrative scenes in watercolor and oil, concentrating on children and interior life with an assured hand and refined color palette. Working from her independent studio during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, she became one of the most prolific illustrators of her era, her compositions appearing regularly in major periodicals and books. Her sentimental subject matter was grounded in precise draftsmanship and a sophisticated approach to color and composition.
