Beautiful early 1900s color lithograph titled "Puritan Girl" , published as a Supplement to The Sunday Sentinel (see bottom margin). The artwork, signed by, portrays a young woman in traditional Puritan dress walking through a wintry forest, gathering evergreen boughs. Her calm expression and soft palette reflect Kenyon's romantic, sentimental style — a favorite among turn-of-the-century American illustrators.
These prints were popular decorative art supplements distributed with Sunday newspapers around 1900-1910, offering affordable art to middle-class homes.
