Bessie
Pease Gutmann (1876-1960).
Perhaps best known for her heartwarming art prints featuring
innocent children during the early part of the twentieth century,
Bessie Pease Gutmann achieved worldwide fame. I remember two of her
baby paintings hanging in my parents house when I was a little girl
myself.
