Playing Graces

Two young children gaze heavenward as they watch the descent of two colored rings. These children are playing graces, an old fashioned game enjoyed by many children of the time.

This drawing is another fine example of the work of Ida Waugh (d.1919). It appeared in The Proud Little Lady from 1880.
