Mabel Rollins Harris , Springtime Melody, ca. 1920's

Cuteness personified. An innocent young child holds a cute doll in one hand and in the other she has a leashed soft furry little lamb - while she attends an outdoor concert of singing bluebirds. The whole feel of this work moves from childhood innocence to almost surrealism. The artist depicts an outdoor scene with a high-key directional studio light that augments the already punchy colors. Is Mabel Rollins Harris a female René Magritte?
