Signed and dated 1908 just below the subject's neck, the piece features a close-up, vignette portrait of a captivating young woman looking slightly down and toward the viewer with a soft, intensely focused expression. Her voluminous, dark auburn hair is styled in an elegant Edwardian bouffant updo, beautifully accented by a wide, light-blue silk or satin ribbon that is tied into a prominent, dramatic bow across the crown of her head. Around her neck, she wears a simple, dark black choker band, adding a sharp, minimalist contrast to the delicate flesh tones of her face and the soft pastel hue of her headwear. The central vignette fades gently into the surrounding empty space, preserved on heavy cream paper stock and framed by the collection's signature ornate, blind-debossed geometric and floral border.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBorn in Brooklyn to a multi-generational family of artists, Harrison Fisher (1875 to 1934) trained at the San Francisco Art Association before rising to absolute prominence in New York as a master magazine illustrator. Alongside contemporaries like Charles Dana Gibson and Howard Chandler Christy, Fisher defined the commercial aesthetic of the 1910s and 1920s, ultimately creating nearly every cover for \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCosmopolitan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emagazine from 1913 until his death. This specific 1908 piece is a prime, early example of his celebrated \"Fisher Girl,\" the animated, graceful, and fashionable archetype that became the ultimate epitome of American female beauty during the pre-war period. This series of images captures the transition of Edwardian high fashion into mainstream media, demonstrating Fisher’s remarkable ability to illustrate intricate contemporary textiles, like sheer veils and bold plaids, with immense commercial appeal. Furthermore, given that a relative tragically burned approximately 800 of Fisher's original paintings upon his death, surviving period prints and originals from this peak era remain vital, scarce visual records of early 20th-century American illustration history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eH 10 ¾” x 7 ¼” W\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition: In very good condition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANTONIO RAIMO GALLERY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595693613335,"sku":"PR0153-8","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/3607\/0679\/files\/PR0153-8.1.jpg?v=1782834250","url":"https:\/\/antonioraimogallery.com\/products\/girl-with-blue-bow-by-harrison-fisher","provider":"ANTONIO RAIMO GALLERY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
