My Lamb | Lilla Cabot Perry Postcard

My Lamb (1912) by Lilla Cabot Perry is a tender and endearing portrait of a young girl, seated gracefully in a chair, holding her beloved toy lamb. The painting captures the innocence and warmth of childhood, with soft, muted colours and delicate brushwork that lend a serene, almost dreamlike quality to the scene. The girl’s calm expression and the simplicity of her surroundings emphasize the quiet intimacy between the child and her cherished toy. Perry’s ability to evoke emotion through the subtle play of light and shadow, along with her focus on capturing the essence of the subject, makes this piece a beautiful reflection of early 20th-century American portraiture.
