Girls Going Down a Lane n.d.

"Girls Going Down a Lane" is an illustration created by Kate Greenaway, a renowned English artist known for her charming depictions of children. The drawing features a group of young girls in Victorian-era clothing, walking down a path towards a village. Greenaway's delicate penmanship, creating a sense of innocence and beauty, is evident in the detailed renditions of the girls’ attire and the idyllic landscape. This piece, like much of Greenaway's work, embodies the artistic style of the late 19th century, reflecting the era’s fascination with childhood innocence and simplicity. It is a fine example of the artistic movement known as "Aestheticism" popularized by Greenaway and other artists. The artwork is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago.
