"Contemplation" is a notable work by Jessie Willcox Smith, an influential American illustrator renowned for her contributions to children's literature and magazines during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in 1863, Smith became one of the most prominent female illustrators of her time, often celebrated for her ability to capture the innocence and wonder of childhood through her art.

"Contemplation" exemplifies Smith's distinctive style, characterized by its delicate lines, soft color palettes, and an almost ethereal quality that brings a sense of warmth and nostalgia to her subjects. The piece typically features a young child, often a girl, engrossed in a moment of quiet reflection or daydreaming, embodying the purity and introspective nature of childhood. Smith's ability to convey deep emotion and narrative through simple, yet evocative imagery is a testament to her skill and artistic vision.

Smith's work, including "Contemplation," was heavily influenced by her training at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and her association with the Red Rose Girls, a group of female artists who lived and worked together in Philadelphia. Her illustrations graced the pages of many beloved children's books, such as "A Child's Garden of Verses" by Robert Louis Stevenson and "The Water-Babies" by Charles Kingsley, as well as popular magazines like "Good Housekeeping" and "Ladies' Home Journal."

"Contemplation" not only highlights Smith's technical prowess but also her deep understanding of the emotional world of children. Her work continues to be celebrated for its timeless appeal and its ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder, making Jessie Willcox Smith a cherished figure in the history of American illustration.
