Really mustang? I will have to look for that.
just curious -- what makes you think the little girl is shirley temple
Such a cute print ! I am not sure it is Shirley Temple but she does resemble her and many mothers made their little girls up to look like her during the 40's and 50's . Love it !

This person thinks it might be Shirley but I have my doubts since anything with her photo or likeness was under contract and with her approval . I think he just painted cute children :-)
Thanks Manikin,
I saw it online as Shirley Temple print! I am excited to explore the link that Manikin has shared! Keep me posted Please if anyone figures it out...
He did do art covers for the Post magazine . But again he would have to say Shirley Temple if it was meant to be her. A fun hunt for answer to this one . I can say it has a C on it for copywrite so it is not an original but more of a mass produced piece . His originals do not have C and are hand signed :-)
Thanks mustangtony!
That makes sense to me mustang that it is a copy . Great solve !!!!!!!!!!!
I am still wondering if she is not a Shirley look a like girl . Her likeness is similair to maybe circumvent all her legal protection to anything to do with her and her trademark rights were tough and still are .
In movie Rebecca of Sunny Brook Farms she dressed in coveralls like the print .

I can't find any place other than a random source to verify he named this as Shirley Temple just online auctions saying it is her ? or a girl that looks like her much like the face of the little boy he did with a dog named "Sympathy "
