Although she never had children of her own, American illustrator
Jessie Wilcox Smith (1863-1935) painted some of the most enduring images of motherhood.
She would invite her friends to bring their children over to visit, and she'd sketch them while they played. She preferred to look for authentic moments from unprofessional models, rather than posing professional actors.
