Please note: Artists not classified as American in our database may have limited biographical data
compared to the extensive information about American artists.
The essence of Victorian childhood is exhibited in the idealized
children of Catherine Greenaway’s work. Her dreamy little figures
seem almost melancholy as they prance through the English countryside
unaware of time or place. Their outfits of frilly smocks, mob
caps and sunbonnets seem Regency in appearance but are none-the-less
the figments of Miss Greenaway’s girlish imagination. They are an
outcome of her unwillingness to leave childhood behind.
