EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting pencil sketch, titled 'Stolen Children,' dates back to circa 1920 and was created by the talented artist Helen Jacobs. The image evokes a sense of fear and desperation as it depicts a group of frightened children huddled together, seeking refuge from a wicked goblin. The goblin, with a sinister grin, is shown racing off with a sackful of already stolen children in tow. The children's expressions convey a range of emotions, from terror and sadness to determination and hope. Their wide-eyed gazes and clenched fists speak volumes about their plight, while the goblin's menacing posture and gleeful expression suggest a cruel and heartless character. The use of pencil in this sketch adds to the overall eeriness of the scene. The delicate lines and shading create a sense of depth and texture, bringing the characters to life in a way that is both captivating and unsettling. Helen Jacobs was a renowned artist of her time, known for her ability to capture the human condition in her work. 'Stolen Children' is a prime example of her talent, as she masterfully conveys the emotions and fears of her subjects through her art. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the vulnerability of children and the importance of protecting them from harm. It also highlights the power of art to evoke emotion and provoke thought, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
