Reproduced from our family archive, in our family's care since the 1970s. This Mary and Her Little Lamb design is no longer available as a mint-condition vintage original, making this museum-quality reproduction the best way to enjoy this charming 1930s nursery artwork.

Bring timeless storybook charm to your nursery with this museum-quality reproduction of Mary and Her Little Lamb by Albert Hencke. Originally printed in 1928 by Catalda Fine Arts, this beloved nursery rhyme scene has been carefully digitally restored and reproduced as a gallery-wrapped canvas print perfect for modern nurseries and children's rooms.

About the Artwork

This charming illustration captures a sweet young girl in a rosy pink dress standing in a sun-dappled garden with her beloved lamb, holding a small bouquet of flowers. Soft blues, pinks, and greens create a dreamy, pastoral scene that embodies the innocence and gentle joy of the classic nursery rhyme. Originally printed in a larger format (approximately 24" × 28"), this 1928 piece predates Hencke's other nursery rhyme works and showcases the artist's early mastery of storybook illustration. The original print has been digitally enhanced to ensure vibrant color and crisp detail in every reproduction.
