CHILDREN'S ILLUSTRATION] Oil painting of a young girl reading a picture-book . Undated (but likely circa 1870), signed "E. Rainford" at lower right. 25 3/4 x 20 1/2 inches (65 x 52 cm). Canvas relined, with evidence of restoration by overpainting. The painting is oval in form, on a plain rectangular background. It depicts a young girl seated reading an illustrated book (by appearance, Little Red Riding Hood), a bowl of fruit on a table to her left. This is a charming and evocative image, appropriate for any collector of children's books. Provenance: Selma Lanes (author of The Art of Maurice Sendak, etc.)
