Probably an illustration for a magazine or book, this oil on canvas says "Children's Bazaar Nov. 6." The artist was a skilled realist who enhanced his figures and other elements with dark outlines a la Roualt. While not a folk painting because the artist was a professional illustrator, the subject of the work would reside happily in a folky interior.

We have not yet found information on the artist Byng. Was he a professional, commercial, fine art or folk artist?

This drawing is framed just for display, and will be shipped unframed.
