by Clarence Underwood (1871–1929, American).
Born in Jamestown, New York, Underwood studied in Paris, but returned in 1902 to illustrate postcards, books, and magazines, including the Saturday Evening Post. Many of his paintings were romantically inclined, from “over-the-fence-line” courting scenes to stealing a kiss over a chessboard. Underwood was a member of the Society of Illustrators in New York City in 1910 and was on staff of the New York Press.
