This delicate pen and ink drawing by Kate Greenaway, titled "Vignette of Two Girls," depicts two young girls in simple, flowing dresses walking hand-in-hand. The girls are framed by a delicate floral wreath, characteristic of Greenaway's charming and sentimental style. Her illustrations, known for their whimsical depiction of children in idyllic settings, became immensely popular in Victorian England, particularly for their charming depiction of childhood innocence. This work, though small in size, exemplifies Greenaway's signature style and her enduring influence on children's book illustration.
