The young girl, barefoot and dressed in a simple blue dress, stands in a narrow, shadowed alley, her clasped hands and direct gaze conveying vulnerability, quiet resilience, and emotional depth.

Margaret Keane (American, 1927-2022) rose to international fame in the late 1950s and early 1960s for her “Big Eyes” paintings, which became a defining visual language of mid-century popular art. Works from this period are especially sought after as they represent the height of her early artistic output before her public authorship was fully recognized. This print bears the artist’s name and the date “1962” within the image, and is presented in a period-style frame that complements the somber, introspective mood of the work. See less
