Among the most affectionate of these is Adoration (1919), in which the artist used his own wife and daughters as models. At center, daughter Eleanor - then twelve years old - gazes into a mirror as her adoring mother and younger sister look on.Exhibition History"Images of Childhood from The Chrysler Museum", Norfolk, VA, July 29 - September 16, 1990.
