"Heaven's Gift" by Maud Tousey Fangel is one of my favorite drawings by her. Maud Tousey Fangel succeeded in capturing the innocence of a little baby probably looking at his mother in this particular drawing.
I am fascinated by the works of Maud Tousey Fangel. I would love to create a doll from one of her prints. Her drawings inspire me a lot. I feel that every single drawing tells us something about the artist herself.
About the Artist:
Maud Tousey Fangel was born on Jan. 1st. 1881. She was the
daughter of a professor of Divinity at Tufts College in Boston. She began drawing when she was a teenager and studied at Boston's School of Fine Arts. She met Guy Fangel, who was the Art Director of Good Housekeeping and got her first commercial assignment from him. Later, she married him. After their son, Lloyd, was born she got fascinated with drawing babies. She had drawn about 1500 pictures of Lloyd before he was three. She worked mostly with pastels. Her models were mainly children from poor families and orphanages.
