Description: | A young girl leans in a loving but rather bored way against her grandmother, who is absorbed in reading a newspaper. Family affection, and the contrasts in the character of youth and age were frequent themes in Victorian paintings. The light from the small cottage window focuses the viewer's attention on the figures. Spots of colour then help lead the viewer's eye around the scene. Carlton Smith was a London artist who often painted portraits and scenes of everyday life. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement artists oil paintings animals art children ceramics natural world women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
