Entitled: "Studies in expression. When women are jurors". The Gibson Girl began appearing in the 1890s and was the personification of the feminine ideal of physical attractiveness portrayed by the satirical pen-and-ink illustrations of illustrator Charles Dana Gibson. The artist saw his creation as representing the composite of "thousands of American girls." The Gibson Girl was tall and slender, yet with ample bosom, hips and buttocks. Her neck was thin and her hair piled high upon her head in the contemporary bouffant, pompadour, and chignon fashions. She was a member of upper class society, always perfectly dressed in the latest fashionable attire appropriate for the place and time of day. In addition to the Gibson Girl's refined beauty, in spirit, she was calm, independent, confident, and sought personal fulfillment. By the outbreak of WWI, changing fashions caused the Gibson Girl to fall out of favor. Charles Dana Gibson, 1902.
