Ball, and the wish went out that every garden might have one."
The Chicago Art Institute has a beautiful piece of sculpture by Helen B. Robinson-Ingles called Inspiration. The group shows Inspiration standing back of the young girl, whispering into her mind as she touches her hands. An earnest thought prompts her to rise, but inspiration interferes.
Both faces are sweet and earnest while the ensemble is grace itself. The marble is beautifully carved to show light and shade.
