books0977: When She Was A Little Girl (Margaret Foley) (c.1918). Lilian Westcott Hale (American, 1880-1963). Oil on canvas. Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. In his book, The Boston Painters, R. H. Ives Gammell says “She had a flair for picking the revealing gesture which expressed her sitter and then offsetting its dominant lines with aptly chosen surroundings so as to create a tapestry of shapes and colors which enchant the eye. Her portraits charm us as decorative wall hangings in the same degree that they fascinate as revelations of character. This twofold triumph is especially noteworthy in her portrayals of children.” -- source link
