Description: | Signed: yes Description: Scene showing a mother and daughter inside a stone-flagged cottage. The mother sits on a wooden chair. Her daughter stands next to her stirring a bowl of some sort of food on her mother's lap. The mother tantalizes a brown and white dog with a scrap of food. Both mother and daughter are gaily dressed. The daughter wears a red dress and yellow neckerchief. The mother wears a flowered skirt and neckerchief. The artist has emphasised the rustic surroundings. The walls are coarse and uneven and a brick fire place can be seen on the left of the composition. The ruddy cheeks and laughing expressions of the two figures give a sense of simple, rustic, domestic contentment. The paint is applied loosely in separate blocks of colour, sometimes allowing the bare canvas to show through, suggesting a knowledge of Impressionist painting. This and the fashionable face type of the mother suggests a date of around 1880-90. | Subjects: | everyday life (domestic scene); interior (cottage);figure (mother child); animal (dog) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Zampighi, Eugenio (Italian painter, 1859-1944) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8496... | Go to resource |
