Another fine piece of work by Horner, the transplanted Swede in Boston, late 19th century. Baby girl or boy – it hardly matters, just a sweet and beautiful infant that was the object of affection as it should be.

And once again, stucco furniture that looks like it was designed by the folks who manufactured circus wagons – makes the baby look like one of those figures set atop a wedding cake!
