About the Item
Child Portrait "Peter" – Olive Snell Lithograph, 1924 Dutch Edition
Charming early 20th-century portrait of a young child titled *Peter*, drawn by British artist Olive Snell and reproduced as a lithograph for the Dutch illustrated magazine *Haagsche Post*, published in its winter issue on December 25, 1924. The child, rendered with expressive detail and subtle color, wears a flowing red garment and gazes out with a composed yet curious expression. The delicate modeling of the face and fluid, almost impressionistic treatment of the clothing showcase Snell’s characteristic blend of elegance and emotional nuance.
Olive Snell (1888–1962) was a noted society portraitist, working primarily in London. Her sitters included prominent figures of the interwar period, and she was known for her ability to convey character through soft but incisive line and color. Her work was regularly featured in British and European publications, including Vanity Fair and The Sketch.
This particular print was issued as part of the *Haagsche Post*’s seasonal deluxe supplement—a format that celebrated contemporary artists by offering fine color reproductions to a broad readership. Printed by L. van Leer & Co. in Amsterdam, the lithograph has retained its vivid reds and warm tones remarkably well. The signature of the artist, “Olive Snell,” is lithographically reproduced in the lower right corner. The caption in Dutch beneath the image reads: *Peter. Door Olive Snell.*
This piece represents a compelling blend of British portraiture and Dutch publishing culture of the 1920s, ideal for collectors of vintage illustration, portraiture, or decorative prints from the interwar period.

Very good overall condition. Light toning to the paper consistent with age. Minimal handling wear. No tears or staining. Margins intact.
