LITTLE ANGELICA.
Over a hundred years ago, there lived a little girl, named Angelica Kauffman. She was very fond of drawing, and made pictures of everything she saw. Her father and mother were poor, but they were so anxious for her to become a great painter that they moved to Italy to live. Before she was grown, her mother died, and then she had to take care of her old father.
One day, when she was in Venice, a rich English lady gave her an order to paint a picture of her little girl. This made Angelica’s fortune, for the lady was so pleased with the young artist that she took her to London. Everybody there was very kind to her, and she became a famous painter. One of her best friends was Sir Joshua Reynolds, the great English artist.
She was so sweet and pretty that people called her “Miss Angel” instead of Angelica. When you are older you must read her life, for it makes a beautiful story.
