Young Girl with Blue Ribbons n.d.

"Young Girl with Blue Ribbons" is a delicate pen and ink drawing by Kate Greenaway, a renowned English illustrator of children's books. This work, notable for its delicate lines and pastel hues, depicts a young girl in a simple, flowing dress adorned with blue ribbons, a signature element of Greenaway's style. The subject's graceful pose and wistful expression evoke a sense of innocence and charm, characteristic of the artist's romanticized portrayal of childhood. This small drawing, now part of the Art Institute of Chicago's collection, exemplifies Greenaway's enduring contribution to Victorian art and children's literature.
