About the Item

East meets West in this charming illustration where a female American Illustrator paints a scene of two jovial Japanese youths in a semi-Japanese style. Clara Miller Burd was a brilliant female illustrator trained in the academic tradition. This work shows her deep mastery of how to render form properly. The way she captures the expression the two children is spot on. Signed lower right. Burd was an American stained glass designer, and children's book, and magazine cover illustrator. She was a resident of Montclair, NJ and there is a gallery sticker on the back for a gallery in Montclair. Framed under glass 17 x 22 1/2". After returning from France, Burd worked as a stained glass designer at the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company in New York. She also worked at the J&R Lamb Studios as well as at the Church Glass and Decoration Company. Her work has been exhibited at the National Academy of Design in 1900, the annual exhibition of the American Water Color Society, New York in 1900, the annual exhibition of the Architectural League of New York in 1905, and The Whitney Museum of American Art in 1984. She lived in Montclair, New Jersey until her death on 11 November 1933
