Description: Artist Bessie Pease Gutmann (1876-1960) was an American painter and illustrator in the early 1900s who is best known for her idyllic hand-colored portrait prints of cherubic infants and blissful children. Her incredible work graced (22) covers of leading family magazines, including Mc Calls, Good Housekeeping, Woman’s Home Companion, Pictorial Review and her illustrations of children’s books, including the 1905 edition of Stevenson’s A Child’s Garden of Verses and the 1907 edition of Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. They remain highly prized. Her prints are almost photographic with delicate brushstrokes and well-lit staging accentuated with rosy cheeks, sunny features, and accessorized finery. Up for sale is a print (664) by Bessie Pease Gutmann entitled “Awakening”. The print is in its original 1930’s frame (painted green) and measures 19 ½ by 15 ½. The print does has a small stain at the bottom and some mars to the print, but overall very good condition. Make me an Offer! Thanks for your interest.
