EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming color illustration, titled "Coquette," was created by the talented British artist Alfred Bestall in 1921. Bestall is most famously recognized for his long-running comic strip series, Rupert Bear, which he drew for thirty years starting in 1931. However, prior to this, Bestall made a significant impact with his illustrations. He produced over forty color illustrations for The Tatler, a prestigious British magazine, in addition to countless humorous line drawings and cartoon sketches. In this particular illustration, a young girl with auburn hair is depicted trying to coax a red squirrel down from a tree. The scene exudes a sense of playfulness and innocence, as the girl's determined expression contrasts with the squirrel's hesitant posture. The rich colors and intricate details of the illustration transport us back to a simpler time, evoking memories of childhood and the joy of connecting with nature. Bestall's artistry is on full display in this image, which showcases his ability to bring characters and scenes to life with warmth and wit. The history of this illustration, created over ninety years ago, adds to its allure, making it a valuable addition to any collection of classic illustrations or children's art. Bestall's career spanned several decades, and his work continues to be celebrated and cherished by art enthusiasts and collectors alike. This image, with its timeless charm and enduring appeal, is a testament to Bestall's artistic talent and his ability to capture the essence of childhood and the natural world.
