(1879–1952), depicting a portrait of a young girl with curled hair wearing an elaborate wide-brimmed bonnet and fur-trimmed garment. Schrock was known for finely rendered
figurative and narrative illustrations, particularly sensitive portrayals of children, family life, and
storybook subjects. His work reflects the polished draftsmanship and expressive realism
associated with early 20th-century American commercial illustration.

The drawing is dated 1947and signed lower center, executed on illustration board. The carefully modeled figures, detailed tonal shading, and expressive facial features suggest the work may have been created for a book, magazine, advertising, or other commercial illustration project, although the original publication or intended use has not been identified.
