Vintage Illustration of a Shy Girl in Polka-Dot Dress - Public Domain Art #73012 (License: Personal Use)

This finely detailed woodcut-style illustration depicts a young girl with curly hair, wearing a voluminous polka-dotted dress and striped stockings, her hands pressed to her face in a gesture of modesty or playful embarrassment. The cross-hatching and stippling techniques suggest an early print publication, likely from a Victorian-era children’s book or periodical. Her posture and expression convey innocence and emotional nuance, characteristic of narrative illustrations from the late 1800s.
