"Study for Home-Beauty" is a pen and ink drawing by Kate Greenaway, a prominent English illustrator of children's books. Created around 1883, the artwork captures a scene of idyllic childhood, depicting children in various activities, such as playing and gathering flowers. Greenaway's signature style is evident in the delicate lines and charming figures, reminiscent of the Victorian era. This drawing, now in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to Greenaway's contribution to the genre of children's illustration.
