The Heir to Fairy-Land
A fair-haired child in a pale ruffled costume sits in a small upholstered chair with gilded curves. Muted trees and softly patterned ground extend behind the seat. Gleeson White’s survey reproduces the watercolour with its title and Robert Halls’s credit on the facing caption page.
