Jessie Wilcox Smith Public Domain Art

Jessie Wilcox Smith was an extremely talented artist who lived until the 1930s.  She is best known for her children's book illustrations. Though she never had any of her own, she had a deep affinity for "wondering, imaginative children".

Many of her works are in the public domain.  Here are some of my favorites:

From Cinderella

From the 7 Stages of Childhood

From Beauty and the Beast

From At The Back of the North Wind

Snow White and Rose Red




I hope you enjoy these paintings as much as I do.  I've become quite the collector of her work lately!
