This watercolour from 1916 shows a scene straight from a children’s book. Ernest Aris was a pro at turning stories into lively pictures. He drew for magazines and hundreds of children’s books. Aris began with portraits and teaching art. By 1909 he was illustrating The Graphic and writing his own books too. If you like his style, check out more work by Ernest Aris.
