Concentrating on his subject's childhood, Brown speaks to his young audience with his own words often poignantly augmented by those of Shaw, a pioneer for women's suffrage. In his muted watercolor palette, spacious composition, and figures with minimal features, Brown captures human emotion through posture, particularly a sense of aloneness that often gives way to fellowship.
