Description: | Signed: yes Description: Two young girls kneeling on a rush mat at a bedside, their hands clasped in prayer. The older girl wearing a blue dress is upright and bows her head in an earnest attitude. The younger one, wearing a white shirt, blue bodice and multicoloured plaid skirt seems to be losing concentration. The room suggests an austere simplicity. The bed is iron with white sheets and a grey blanket. Striped blankets hang on the wall over the bed. An oil lamp hangs on the bare buff wall. Clothes are piled on a chair on the left hand side. A bonnet has been abandoned on the floor in the foreground. The handling on the wall is very free. Elsewhere textures are soft and illusionistic, especially in the treatment of the flesh. | Subjects: | evening prayers) everyday life (children | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Frère, Edouard (French painter, 1819-1886) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8309... | Go to resource |
