More about this artwork
This captivating illustration, crafted by William Wallace Denslow, features a charming scene straight from the whimsical world of Mother Goose. The image presents an elderly lady, elegantly dressed in a long, ornate dress adorned with polka dot details and a stylish bow in her hair. She holds a book in one hand and a pointer in the other, directing attention to a large clock upon the wall, indicating a lesson in telling time is underway.Beside her stands a young boy, attentive and curious. He wears a striped shirt under overalls and has a look of keen interest as he gazes up at the clock. The vibrant, contrasting colors—rich greens and warm browns—along with the playful character expressions, bring this educational moment to life with a touch of nostalgia and charm.Denslow’s use of bold lines and clear, bright color palettes is evident, making the scene not only eye-catching but also conveying a narrative that is both educational and endearing.
