Personal and Professional
When Elizabeth Shippen Green created this illustration to accompany Henry Van Dyke's poem, "Inscriptions for a Friend's House," she took a line from it as her title and drew upon her personal life for inspiration. Her stunningly designed, richly detailed watercolor includes a self-portrait with her equally talented colleagues Jessie Willcox Smith and Violet Oakley on the grounds of the home they shared. |
