From the Internet:
Angus Peter MacDonall, who came from Saint Louis (studied at the Saint Louis School of Fine Art) was one of the early group of artists who settled in Westport, Connecticut, to make it a famous art colony. MacDonall was especially popular with fellow illustrators because of his three beautiful daughters who were in great demand as models.

MacDonall illustrated for most of the magazines including Scribner's, Harper's, American, and The Ladies Home Journal. For several years he did a regular double spread illustration of human interest or social commentary for the old Life magazine. He also did the cover for the Saturday Evening Post, October 8, 1921 edition.

Member: Society of Illustrators. Established in 1901, New York City

The last picture shown (downloaded from the Internet) shows the cover of issue number 1601, in which this image appeared.

Notes: Mounting board is a bit beaten up at the edges, but the work itself is in good condition.
