About Jessie Willcox Smith

Born in 1863 in Philadelphia, Smith became renowned for her evocative illustrations that adorned magazines like "Good Housekeeping" and books such as "Little Women." Her work, particularly the image of the girl with the umbrella from the April 1922 issue of "Good Housekeeping," encapsulates the innocence and wonder of youth, captured in a moment from times past. Smith studied under Howard Pyle and at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, becoming a pivotal figure in the early 20th-century art scene. Her use of soft pastels and the interplay of light and shadow in her compositions reflect the societal ideals of her time regarding innocence, protection, and the aesthetic of childhood. Her legacy, discussed in works like "Jessie Willcox Smith: American Illustrator" by Edward D. Nudelman, highlights her influence on contemporary illustrators and art historians, standing at the intersection of commercial and fine art.
