Clara Elsene Peck (April 18, 1883 – February 1968) was an American illustrator and painter known for her illustrations of women and children in the early 20th century. Peck received her arts education from the Minneapolis School of Fine Arts and was employed as a magazine illustrator from 1906 to 1940. Peck's body of work encompasses a wide range, from popular women's magazines and children's books, works of fiction, commercial art for products like Ivory soap, and comic books and watercolor painting later in her career. Peck worked during the "Golden Age of American Illustration" (1880s–1930s) contemporaneous with noted female illustrators Jessie Willcox Smith, Elizabeth Shippen Green and Violet Oakley.

The Girl at the Window. Josephine Daskam Bacon. New York: D. Appleton and Co. 1934. First edition. Original dust jacket and illustrations by Clara Elsene Peck.

A rather pious story of a girl who -- through her own selfishness -- was hurt in an accident and spent many months as an invalid. From self-absorption to an interest in other people's problems -- and even a share in solving a kidnapping case, -- so the story goes. Interesting enough, and the mystery will give a sales angle. -- Kirkus
