Harriet Torrey Evatt

Group of Children

Harriet Torrey Evatt's original pen and ink and graphite drawing depicting a group of children may possibly be a preparatory study for An Army in Pigtails (1962). Harriet Evatt has also written color schemes and directions on the drawing and has provided a detail of the patchwork which she wants on the baby's blanket. Group of Children is drawn upon thick wove paper and with full margins. It is signed 'H. Evatt' within the image to the lower right. This is a charming, original example of the famous children's illustration art of Harriet Evatt.
