American artist (1879–1946) famous for his illustrations appearing in books and magazines—including Harper's, Collier's, and Life—from the early 1900s to mid-1930s. Impressive original ink and watercolor artwork of a group of children playing with a rather frazzled baby cow, 23.75 x 14, signed in the lower right, “B. Cory Kilvert, 1906.” In fine condition, with light overall toning (heavier to edges), and a few edge chips. Kilvert was especially well-known for his humorous and realistic renditions of children, of which this is a nice example. RR Auction COA.
