I've been saving this cover for a special occasion and thought it had a nice Spring-like feeling to it. She was likely painted in 1937 or '38 but I only have the cover, so I can't definitively date it. Bolles rarely used much pink. It was hard for engravers to get right, especially next to skin tones and even more so when the printing quality wasn't so great to begin with. But probably more important, as a printer once advised Bolles, "use any color as long as it is red."
