The story of this work

Overview

The illustration, created in pencil, ink, and wash on cream-colored paper-faced card, depicts two girls observing a portrait of a Victorian girl. The younger child is dressed in a bodice, drawers, and socks, while the elder wears a petticoat, vest, and slippers, holding a dressing gown that trails on a nearby footstool. Produced by Lilian Hocknell for Chilprufe Ltd, a UK manufacturer of children's clothing, the work was used in their catalogues and advertisements.
