Innocence, chromolithograph of a girl with a lamb, ca 1870

A young girl with long curled brown hair sits on a pink and green cushion, holding flowers toward a white toy lamb decorated with roses and blossoms. She wears a blue skirt, a red shawl, and brown boots against a black background with a rug below. The hand-colored print has a soft, sentimental look typical of its period.
