Description “A little Kiss” is a lovely print of one her well-known vintage images from her early career. Kane captures a sweet moment as a young boy plants a soft kiss on the cheek of a beautiful little girl in this charming piece. Rich browns and ochres dominate the color palette in the piece giving it an incredible glow of warmth. The print gives the illusion of being double matted but it is an extension of the two-dimensional picture plane. The piece is mounted in a beautiful dark oak frame, complimenting the rich browns of the composition and bringing the total measurements to 17”x 20.”
